Also trees and shrub planting to minimize the potential adverse landscape and visual impacts shall be included where space permits. Roof top greening and vertical greening plan shall also be provided.

The Landscape Mitigation Plan under EP-337/2009 (Distributor Road Road D4) shall include, a) Compensatory tree planting shall be incorporated into the Project where trees are affected. b) Tall buffer screen tree/shrub/climber planting shall be incorporated to soften hard engineering structures and facilities. c) Sensitive streetscape design shall be incorporated along the new roads to reflect the new urban development at Kai Tak. d) Structure, ornamental tree/shrub/climber planting shall be provided along roadside amenity strips and central dividers to enhance the townscape quality, where space is available. e) Aesthetically pleasing design as regard to the form, material and finishes shall be incorporated to all buildings, engineering structures and associated infrastructure facilities.

3. Mitigation Measures

3.1 Proposed Design Measures for the Distributor Road Road D4 and Trunk Road T2 (part)

As the majority of trunk road T2 will be in tunnel, landscape and visual design will be concentrated on tunnel portals and three buildings at the western end, namely the Ventilation and Tunnel Portal Buildings. The solely design measure incorporated in layout and design of the trunk road T2 relevant to this project is –

l Provide depression and tunneling of roads in order to reduce the visual impact and improve the landscape quality of the environment at ground level.

The distributor road Road D4 form part of the KTD and their alignments are formulated under the development and urban design frameworks for KTD. Proposed Design Measures incorporated in layout and design of the distributor road is described below.

Aesthetic Pleasing Design of Roads and Streetscapes

Roads and Streetscapes are potentially significant detractors to both the landscape and visual amenity of KTD. In order to minimize the impacts which they may cause, a series of measures have been incorporated in the development layout. These include:

· Creation of a pleasant pedestrian environment with sympathetic landscape treatments for the road networks within the site,

· Provision of road side planting, in particular trees, along all new distributor and local road where possible and practicable,

· Minimization the extent of utility reserves within pavement,

Provision of Compensatory Planting

As new planters will be constructed along the new distributor road Road D4, it will provide opportunity for the compensation to the loss of any planting disturbed by the works. 109 trees will be planted for distributor road Road D4 in accordance with the planting schedule.
