Green and Active Transport
Promoting Cycling and Supporting the Use of Electric Mobility Devices in New Development Areas and New Towns
TTSS recommends promoting cycling and supporting the use of electric mobility devices in New Development Areas and new towns, as well as implementing a comprehensive cycle track network in the New Development Areas, thereby enhancing connectivity and convenience.
The TTSS recommends strengthening the promotion of cycling and supporting the use of electric mobility devices in New Development Areas and new towns, and providing people with more options of active transport modes for short-distance travel and first-mile/last-mile connectivity, with the aim of reducing vehicle usage and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Cycling facilities and associated supporting infrastructure will continue to be developed to accommodate the use of both bicycles and electric mobility devices.
We consider it possible to implement a comprehensive cycle track network in New Development Areas to connect different land parcels, and link up with TIHs, waterfront promenades and green space at the same time. To adopt a systematic approach in classifying cycle tracks, the TTSS recommends introducing a cycle track hierarchy with two levels, i.e. “arterial cycle tracks” and “local cycle tracks”.
