HARBOURFRONT CYCLEWAY FEASIBILITY STUDY

The aim of this report is to review the feasibility of installing a mostly segregatedcycleway from Kennedy Town to Heng Fa Chuen, whilst also considering:

• Design guidelines of the cycleway

• Design features that may be required to install the cycleway

• Connectivity with existing and future transport nodes, amenities and developments

• Amendments to existing harbourfront amenities that will need to be overcome

• Consideration of some cycleway amenities along the route

PRACTICAL DESIGN GUIDELINES

Hong Kong guidelines from the Transport Planning and Design Manual canproductively be supplemented by consideration of design guidelines from other majorcities around the world.

Particularly useful is the information from NACTO (National Association of CityTransportation Officials) in the US. They give very clear, detailed, and up-to-dateguidance on cycleway design in urban environments (ref)
