徐遠華：關注深灣道行人安全 Safety Problem at Sham Wan Road, WCH

As I mentioned yesterday(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=3196), I'll mail a leaflet to residents. This is the back page of the leaflet, which concerns the safety problem at Shum Wan Road, WCH.

I've been studying to have some kind of crossing facility to improve the safety at Shum Wan Road, because there are many residents cross the road to the opposite side of South Wave Court to take the minibus, and go to the supermarket nearby.

I'll launch a questionnaire campaign to ask residents about this issue, Safety comes first of course, but the crossing facility may worsen the traffic at Shum Wan Road. It's why I need to consult residents about it, though the Transport Dep't agrees the crossing facility helps to improve the safety.

昨天提到我會寄一份單張給居民(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=3196)，下面這份是單張的背頁，關注深灣道的行人安全問題，我稍後將展開問卷調查，諮詢居民是否同意設立行人過路設施。

單張內容如下：

每天有不少南濤閣居民橫過深灣道，到對面馬路乘搭小巴，或到百佳超級市場購物，容易造成交通意外。尤其是行動不便的長者，橫過馬路時，險象環生，令人憂心。

徐遠華對此深表關注，他指：「居民安全是首要考慮因素，但如增加行人過路設施(請參考下圖)，可能阻塞交通；因深灣道沒有欄杆，過路設施可能『得物無所用』，故我們展開問卷調查，諮詢居民意見，希望大家支持。」

徐遠華與運輸署代表5月16日實地視察後，初步贊成興建行人過路設施，以改善行人及道路安全，但表示需諮詢其他部門意見，及研究交通影響。

針對上述提及過路設施可能『得物無所用』的問題，徐遠華現與運輸署跟進，商討將南濤閣對面小巴站往百佳方向移後約10米，吸引居民使用過路設施。

第一段有個手民之誤:應該是"到對面馬路乘搭小巴",不是乘客。謹此致歉。
