以基建先行規劃新市鎮 林世雄:不會入伙後10多年才有鐵路
對政府提出花20年興建佔地300平方公里的北部都會區,並計劃於區內建設5條新鐵路,運輸及物流局長林世雄接受《明報》專訪時表示,新一屆政府在規劃新市鎮時,採取以基建先行,不會再出現新區入伙後10多年才有鐵路的情況。
由於鐵路規劃時間長,林世雄稱政府會以多管齊下方式提速,包括從前期規劃、研究及施工方法等三大方面,他舉例指,北部都會區內鐵路項目,如北環線,沿途經過魚塘或濕地,需做為期一年的生態基線研究,若前期規劃已完成這部分,毋須到啟動環評程序時才進行。他指政府會探討在前期規劃階段是否有壓縮空間,令工程可盡快上馬。
他透露,北都5條新鐵路項目,當中3條與內地接駁,其中連接洪水橋與前海的港深西部鐵路項目,本港與內地已成立專班,並開展研究;至於北環線延線,政府亦已委託港鐵做技術研究。
至於另外兩條非跨境項目,包括流浮山至白泥的自動捷運系統,以及北環線東延線,明年會開展研究。他強調用最快速度執行,政府正研究精簡發展程序,當中亦會檢視《鐵路條例》及《收回土地條例》,希望節省時間,令工程可以盡快上馬。(ca/u)
