Alternative Boardwalk Designs. 6 The Highest Astronomical Tide at Quarry Bay/North Point is +2.78mCD or +2.64mPD. 4.3.1 The revised Boardwalk scheme in Stage 3 Community Engagement has taken into account the relevant design criteria. According to the findings from the pedestrian survey, a 3.5m wide walkway should be provided in order to achieve a minimum level of service C along the proposed Boardwalk. The proposed walkway width can accommodate for pedestrian volume of 80-100 pedestrians per minutes and comply with the requirements shown on HKPSG Table 9 of Chapter 8 and TPDM Vol. 2 Table 3.4.11.1. According to HKPSG Table 10 of Chapter 8 and TPDM Vol. 2 Table 3.8.3.1, a desirable width of 4.0m two-way cycle track should be allowed. In this connection, the minimum width of proposed Boardwalk with cycling facilities should be 7.5m. 4.3.2 To maximise the utilization of the space underneath the existing IEC structure, the Boardwalk deck structure would be widened to maximise public enjoyment. Subject to the structural capacity of the existing IEC substructures, the Boardwalk would be widened to generally 10m underneath the IEC footprint. Taking into account the maintenance clearance required and the residue clearance between the existing IEC piers, a wider deck structure would embrace the existing IEC columns so as to integrate the walkway and cycle track separated apart by the IEC columns. Street furniture or landscape features would be provided along the Boardwalk for leisure and recreational uses. 4.3.3 Overall, the revised Boardwalk scheme in Stage 3 Community Engagement minimizes the adverse impact to the harbour and promotes a minimal design idea. It aims to create a light and thin structure. Taking into account the structural capacities of existing IEC substructures, lightweight materials, such as steel, would be adopted.
