The tourists last Sunday didn't wait for the Bike Park, err, sorry, CPA - Cycle Parking Area, to open, occupying it cheerfully.
Witness the new Yung Shue Wan hangout/meeting spot, luggage storage area and, best of all, new children playground! Yay!

Finally, one of our many ideas what to do with the unopened Bike Park has been realised!
(Sorry for the lousy smartphone pic, I was rushing to the ferry, bike-less this time, awaiting the Govt.'s internal liability struggles to end and the Park to open.)

If you were also wondering about the 5 lamp poles and their protectors in there...

Plus even more discussions on the Bike Park status...

So the powers that be have now officially closed off the area so even the visitors can't enjoy it. It's all but locked down and bolted.

The lampposts are well protected. That's positive.

That's the first positive comment we've heard in some time!
Rambler, the Eternal Optimist?

As the Bike Park might not be used for the foreseeable future, maybe we get some birds posing or even nesting on the lamppost protectors? . ;~}

Rejoice!
The CPA is open today.


No ceremony, still no idea who is responsible for it.
I'm sure the recent media interest in the "ghost bike park", (not just the HKFP, but RTHK too) reporters asking questions of government departments and YLF last week was entirely coincidental and it was always planned to open without fanfare today.

First days of the $24.8 million bike park, quite a few cyclists have started using it, but still a minority.

Expect some enforcement action to start in the not-too-distant future:

In-depth story by Mo Tat Wan's Damon Wong of Inmedia, a Lamma District Councilor candidate 3 years ago:

http://www.inmediahk.net/node/1036607

Trying to Google-translate the article. The headline:

"Yung Shue Wan Pier channel on Thursday to clean up cycling force field with expensive bikes"

Wow, a cycling force field on the pier channel, to be cleaned up with expensive bikes! I got to be there to witness that!

Google-translation. You'll get the gist:

(Independent special media reports) cost $ 240 million and the cost of each bicycle berth up to 8 million bicycles field Yung Shue Wan, Lamma Island, at the official opening on July 28, the utilization rate of about five percent, some still choose to parked bicycles Yung Shue Wan pier on the channel. The government recently issued a circular on August 13日represents (星期四) to clean up cycling action, estimated the confiscated motorcycles will be directly crushing.

Yung Shue Wan, Lamma Island cycling field at a cost of 24 million, when the budget was only 15 million, cost overruns of 60%, the cost of each bicycle berth up to 8 million. Cycling field works for District Councillors YU Lai - fan for many years when the grounds for the dock doors were full cycling make obstruction. Government departments have been regularly cited "﹝ Miscellaneous Provisions Ordinance ﹞ land" confiscated bicycle path on an operation in 2012, about 50 bicycles were sent to the island dumpster immediate crushing , including at least two brand new motorcycles.

The most recent departmental joint clean-up operations will be conducted on August 13, circulars issued by the District Lands Office, Food and Environmental Department, the Police and the District Office on August 7, said that the opening of illegally parked on the pier cycling and debris blocking the way people and walkways, bicycle instead called on islanders to parked bicycles field. While the longer this time of notice, but a time when summer vacation, some travel Islanders and self-removal or cycling.

After the cycling field enabled, many islanders have changed parked bicycle field, but only one-way entrance because cycling field, located in the parking position than the position after less islanders use. Yung Shue Wan pier moored on the bicycle path has been drastically reduced in the cycling field enabled, even on a bicycle path also mostly placed on the front railing, reduce congestion.

Controversy continues to build bike field for many years, before the publication roll, Living Lamma Lamma resident associations had recommended instead parked bicycle parking in Yung Shue Wan Post Office on the location of the platform. Cycling field and Yung Shue Wan Main Street in parallel, allowing residents parked along the traffic. The organization also proposed to broaden the dock opening, installing single-frame extension and other projects, but not accepted.

The Administration has been planned in Yung Shue Wan Reclamation, the first phase of the project has already been completed, the second phase of the project extends from dock doors throughout Yung Shue Wan, Yung Shue Wan Main Street for the same reason for the blockage, and one in the construction shall be reclaimed waterfront emergency aisle.
