Seven years ago, the government proposed a project involving the relocation of the Tsim Sha Tsui ferry pier bus terminus, which was to be replaced by a piazza.
A great deal of money was wasted and now the plan has been scrapped.
I am glad that officials finally realised that creating a new tourist attraction was not acceptable if it involved the destruction of a historically important bus terminus.
Conservation of this terminus is important because it is part of the collective memory of Hong Kong citizens, having been at that site since the 1920s.
It is also logistically vital, as many of the 45,000 passengers who use the Star Ferry every day then board buses at the terminus.
I appreciate that the government's original intention was to create a new tourist spot.
