Q Is tearing down the Eastern Island Corridor a good idea?
The idea of tearing down the Eastern Corridor and replacing it with tunnels sounds okay. (I shudder at a thought of the traffic chaos it will create during the demolition and the construction.)
Anyway, the design of the tunnel location seems somewhat strange in that it will further encroach into Victoria Harbour, albeit underwater. Why not build the tunnels where the beams of the Eastern Corridor currently are or, even better, somewhere in between those beams and the current harbourfront, and then build the 'beautified public area' on top of the tunnels?
I also hope that the people behind this type of project are firmly focused only on benefiting Hong Kong people.

Q Are the harbour tunnel fees too high?
I think the government should buy back the Western Harbour Tunnel, because the fares are simply outrageous. This tunnel is a major route for going to the western New Territories, the mainland and Chek Lap Kok.
