港鐵高架路軌對東華三院復康中心的影響 The Impact of MTR SIL to JCRC

今天繼續跟進港鐵高架路軌對東華三院復康中心的影響，這次是以南區分區會東分區成員的成員再與港鐵及路治署等開會。內容大致和10月8日相同（請參考：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=7503&prev=7513&next=7486），我們希望儘最大努力將高架路軌遠離復康中心。

我在會上提出既然港鐵已承諾為中心那段高架路軌加設全覆蓋隔音罩，因中心已佔了明渠高架路軌約一半長度，為何不趁機會為整條黃竹坑露天路軌加設？成本固然會增加，但預期十年廿年後的黃竹坑將可能變身為另一個中心地帶（參考：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=7568），為何不未雨綢繆，難道等到將來高架路軌因景觀和噪音備受批評時才處理？

一講到可能增加成本，不出所料，港鐵和政府部門自然不會輕易給我們什麼實質答案。

I had a meeting with the MTRC and the concerned dept again, aimed at following up the impact of MTR SIL to JCRC. The result is almost the same as last meeting on 8 Oct.(Ref. http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=7503&prev=7513&next=7486).

The TMRC promised to cover up the elevated railway along the JCRC and I followed up by suggesting to cover up all the elevated railway along the WCH nallah because it'll avoid the noise impact of buildings at both sides of the nallah. And, it'd be noted that the WCH is going to become a new cnetre of the Southern District.(ref.http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=7568)

Money matters a lot and it's why my suggestion gets no solid reply from both the MTRC and the concerned govt dept.
