    No, police only failed in allowing all cars to stop and block the road endlessly

    Thought that QRC was mainly a short term parking lot for chauffeured cars waiting for pickups.

    Not just that street but Central in general is an unpleasant polluted mess for pedestrians

    Surely all things named after an empress from a foreign power continue to pollute and subverts the minds and should be renamed after a more appropriate great emperor who brought glory to China?

    An easy fix without having to fight for pedestrianization for the next 20 years is extending and enforcing a double yellow line from where it splits off at Queensway till the Centre. Currently, 3 lanes of traffic becomes 1 after Ice House Street not because people are parked illegally, but because it is perfectly legal to do so (no double yellow on the left side of the road).

    I wish desperately that it were possible to have elevatorS that went both up and down, like a normal set of elevators.

    A few years ago, they closed off part of Des Veoux Road Central to be a pedestrianised zone and nothing came of it.

    A few years ago, they stopped Sai Yeung Choi Street in Mongkok being pedestrianised during weekend evenings.

    Yep, car owners and those groups supporting them are destroying Hong Kong.

    Wasn't the Mong Kok one partly to stop the street karaoke?
