Five streets in Mong Kok will be beautified to improve tourism, under a HK$100 million project that may see some thoroughfares turned into pedestrian precincts.
The project involves sections of Tung Choi, Sai Yee, Fa Yuen and Nelson streets and Flower Market Road, which are known for selling goldfish, flowers, sneakers and electrical appliances.
The project, announced yesterday by the Urban Renewal Authority, will include a planning study and 12-month public consultation.
The lack of room on the narrow streets has long frustrated many shoppers and tourists drawn to the colourful and vibrant areas.
The beautification project falls under the Development Bureau's initiative announced this year to create jobs. Cheung said the authority would announce the number of job opportunities after details of the project's implementation had been finalised.

ReplyDeletereally I am sure it is not going to work well provided that the HK citizens are so picky, and that the gov officials are snails.
