Missing and sub-standard pedestrian connections in the Kwun Tong District

Dear Sirs and Madams

Our campaign Missing Links began a year ago with the objective of improving pedestrian connections in
Hong Kong. Via our website (www.missinglinks.hk), the public has identified locations where footpaths or
crossings are either missing, narrow or sub-standard.

We are bringing the relevant locations identified during the first year to your attention and we would be
grateful if Transport Department and the Kwun Tong District Council would work together to improve these
pedestrian connections for the benefits of residents and visitors of the Kwun Tong District.

Enclosed please find a list of locations with photos and information. Please feel free to contact Mr. Leung at
3104-2766 or denis@designinghongkong.com if you have any questions. Keep us posted on the result so that
we can inform the public accordingly.

Yours sincerely,


Paul Zimmerman, CEO of Designing Hong Kong
