「邊度無路行?」尖沙咀梳士巴利道過路處重開
創建香港今日於尖沙咀梳士巴利道慶祝過路處重新開放,讓行人可於路面由彌敦道直接步行到海濱長廊及文化中心。

創建香港自2004年發表「共創我們的海港區」報告以來一直倡議重設過路處。創建香港董事邵在德於2010年將情況形容為:「橫過梳士巴利道的感覺就像過街老鼠捐上捐落」

2011年調查結果顯示超過七成人希望當局能於梳士巴利道提供地面過路處。我們於2012年7月向海濱事務發展委員會提交有關 「步行硏究及公眾參與」的報告中亦有提及調查結果。

創建香港行政總裁司馬文說:「我們感謝運輸署回應市民訴求,並給予行人優先使用權。重開過路處理能顯著改善尖沙咀步行性,同時亦方便本地和海外遊客搵路,並能直接步行到海濱長廊及文化中心。」

2013年,創建香港在道路安全研究小組的支持下展開名為「邊度冇路行」的社區運動。在過去一年共收到 159 宗市民報告。經團隊親身視察後,我們於2014年7月向政府及區議會提交了 128 個修改建議,以改善香港的可步行性。運輸署正在研究當中的建議。

司馬文續說:「我們大家都是行人,應致力改善尖沙咀及香港的可步行性,令行人行得更安全更方便。」

Missing Links Campaign: Crossing at Salisbury Road re-opened

Today, Designing Hong Kong celebrates the re-opening of the crossing at Salisbury Road at Tsim Sha Tsui. This allows people to cross at grade from Nathan Road to the waterfront promenade and the Cultural Centre.

Designing Hong Kong has been advocating the restoration of this crossing since its report “Designing Hong Kong Harbour District” in 2004. Markus Shaw, Director of Designing Hong Kong, described the situation in 2010: “Anyone who has tried to cross Salisbury Road in Kowloon will understand: Pedestrians are treated like rodents, herded into underground warren-passageways.”

In a survey in 2011, 77% of the respondents indicated they prefer a direct crossing at street level at Salisbury Road. The survey findings were presented as part of a walkability study to the Harbourfront Commission in July 2012.

Paul Zimmerman, CEO of Designing Hong Kong explained: ‘We thank Transport Department for addressing the public aspirations and giving priority to pedestrians. The restoration of the crossing will significantly improve the walkability in Tsim Sha Tsui. It will make it easier for local and international visitors to find their way. It makes the popular waterfront promenade and cultural facilities more accessible.’

In 2013, Designing Hong Kong with the support from Community for Road Safety started a ‘Missing Links’ campaign. Over 159 reports of substandard and missing pavements and crossing have been reported by the public. The team has reviewed the complaints and submitted 128 reports for improving walkability to the government and district councils in July 2014. The Transport Department is actively studying all the reports.
‘We are all pedestrians. Together we can make Hong Kong, not just Tsim Sha Tsui, more pedestrian friendly and safe,’ concluded Paul Zimmerman.

Bravo Designing Hong Kong.
Thank you for your perseverance.
It is indeed more enjoyable for the pedestrian to have access again to the Salisbury Road crossing for gonig to the waterfront.
Keep up your good work.

One small step for a Hong Kong pedestrian ..

.. Let's hope it is also a giant leap as TD reviews the needs of people on foot at locations all over Hong Kong.

So very very pleased!

Being sent underground and then through that maze of shops to cross Salisbury Road has irritated me for many years. Well done, Designing HK!

Well done! This is a big step forward in the right direction. Let's hope all the annoying fences that keep humans on the pavement will one day be gone in Hong Kong.

Well done Paul and team, keep up the good work. I hadn't hear about the Missing Links campaign, but it's a great initiative. There's a few I can think of, and I'll add them unless I find they're on your site already.

It took them ten years to learn something that is more about common sense than technical knowledge. Let's hope that they will accelerate their learning curve. We deserve civil servants who are far less dense than the population density of Hong Kong.

An excellent outcome of what must have been a lot of hard work. Thank you to all involved. This is also the first time I've learned of the missing links campaign, but in HK there are just so many places where common sense (from the pedestrian perspective) seems to have evaded the planners. How do we join in?

Now for the crossings in the back of Times Square, an accident waiting to happen and pedestrians treated as sheep.
