守護社區  遷址減少環境影響
各界呼籲政府更改港珠澳大橋香港口岸選址

政府建議方案的三大缺點

犧牲天然海岸線：六車道（雙向三車道及每邊一條緊急車道）的香港接線長達12.4公里，破壞北大嶼山的天然海岸線，香港接線將佔用機場東部長達兩公里的海岸保護區，進一步摧毀赤鱲角剩餘的天然海岸。香港口岸涉及大面積的267公頃填海，極可能嚴重改變海岸水流，影響海岸環境生態。
損害社區環境：根據港府在2009年4月30日提供的數據，「20年內，香港接線每日車流量將超過50,000輛，最高時速達100公里」，照此計算，東涌、富東、馬灣及逸東的居民每兩秒鐘就會看到一輛汽車經過。
污染激增，破壞景觀：香港口岸距離東涌新發展區不足一公里，製造噪音、空氣污染及光害，嚴重影響居民的日常生活，並破壞大嶼山的天然海岸美景，使東涌至大澳的海岸遠足徑風光不再。

社區建議方案考慮周全

縮短連接路：將香港口岸重置在機場島以西，使香港境內至口岸的接線長度從12.4公里大幅縮減至4.7公里，並可更善用橫貫機場客運站的自動列車運輸。
保護天然海岸線：將香港接線改到機場島以北，使大嶼山和赤鱲角的天然海岸線景觀得以保留。污染遠離民居，維持社區景觀：將24小時運作的香港口岸改到機場島西面，並且將連接路置於遠離居民5公里之處，即使建造費用可能稍為提高，但可大幅減低對東涌 / 富東 / 馬灣 / 逸東邨居民的空氣及噪音污染。

我們促請政府從善如流，不要因為從上而下的長官意志，製造不必要矛盾，阻延工程進度。

Press Release
Protect the community and the environment
Support a better way to link the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge with Hong Kong.

Government proposal - Three main drawbacks.

12.4km road from HK SAR boundary to Border Crossing Facility: A 12.4 kilometer long six lane road (dual three lanes with an emergency lane on each side) will severely damage the natural coast of Lantau Island and forever degrade the coastal hiking route from Tung Chung to Tai O. It will also destroy 2 kilometers of coastal protection area, the last remaining natural shoreline of Chep Lap Kok island.

24 hours a day light, air and noise pollution: As quoted in the sponsored feature from the HK government on 30 April 2009, “within 20 years the road will carry more than 50,000 vehicles a day at speeds of up to 100km/h”, which is one car every two seconds, right in front of the Tung Chung, Fu Tung, Ma Wan and Yat Tung residents. A border crossing facility of 130ha with its noise, air and light pollution will be located less than a kilometer from the new Tung Chung Town Extensions.

Large reclamations and an elevated road in front of Lantau: 267ha reclamation will be created for the border crossing facilities and a long elevated road will be built on hundreds of pillars which will be an eyesore and severely affect marine life.

Alternative community proposal - A better option for all.

Short road from HK SAR boundary to Border Crossing Facility: By placing the border crossing facilities on the west, the secure road can be dramatically reduced in length from 12.4 to 4.7km.

Moving roads 5km away from residents, and protecting natural coast lines: By moving the roads to the north of the airport island, the air and noise pollution will be dispersed before reaching the Tung Chung/Fu Tung/Ma Wan/Yat Tung homes, and the natural coast lines of Lantau and
Chep Lap Kok will be saved.

Moving the border crossing out of sight for residents: By placing the facilities on the west of the airport island, existing and future residents of North Lantau will no longer be disturbed by the 24-hour border operations.

We urge the government to listen to the community, and not to create unnecessary hurdle because of top- down decision-making, which may lead to further project delay. Co-signatories:
