Yau Ma Tei
Since 2000, Yau Ma Tei’s air quality has systematically violated Hong Kong’s lax Air Quality Objectives. But the Government has taken no action. More than 10 roads and flyovers were built close to housing estate, Prosperous Garden, without any mitigation measures. To make things worse, the Government intends to build the opening of the Central Kowloon Route next to Prosperous Garden. Air pollution in that area will undoubtedly worsen as a consequence. Mr. Edward Lee has formed an “Environmental Group on Central Kowloon Route” and, together with Yau Ma Tei residents, urged the Government to move the intended tunnel opening away from Prosperous Garden and add landscaping to alleviate the problem.
