Neighbouring the heavily-loaded Cross Harbour Tunnel, PolyU has long witnessed problems in the vicinity — poor air quality, overloaded footbridge, poor connectivity within the district and lack of open space. The University has thus proposed the construction of a Green Deck over the Cross Harbor Tunnel plaza to tackle these problems.

Linking Hung Hom MTR Station Podium on the west and PolyU campus on the south east, the proposed 43,000 sq. m. deck area can accommodate a wide variety of recreational, cultural and sports facilities while solving existing problems in the district. This proposal will not only provide people with a green open space to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city life, but also help foster sustainable development through a number of research projects undertaken by PolyU experts.

The University is soliciting views from various stakeholders to work out a plan that will benefit the community as well as enhance the environment. ♦
