Coloane residents group calls for refinement of leisure facility

The Seac Pai Van Residents’ Mutual Help Association sees the need for improvement of the nearby facility. For example, it noted that although there are zebra crossings between the Seac Pai Van government housing and the Seac Pai Van Reservoir Promenade, extra signals should be installed as vehicles normally travel at a higher speed there. Extra washrooms should also be constructed, as the group foresees great demand when the promenade opens. The group also hopes that more shelters might be built in case of sudden rainfall.
