Major improvement works of the $40 million Pak Tze Lane project in Central will be completed in 2011, to tie in with the centennial anniversary of the 1911 Chinese Revolution.

     'Origin of Chinese Revolution' was therefore adopted as the design theme for the Pak Tze Lane garden. In addition to greening features, sculptures and recreational facilities, the garden will also incorporate exhibition panels and three-dimensional interactive facilities tracing the development of revolutionary activities and events. The ambience of Pak Tze Lane of early years will also be re-created.

     Geographically, Pak Tze Lane is close to the Peel Street/Graham Street project of the URA where a multi-purpose community hall and a green walking corridor will be provided.

     Presently there is only a narrow pathway leading to the lane from Gage Street, and arrangements will be made to improve pedestrian facilities - including building a new staircase linking the lane and open spaces in the vicinity.

     The existing refuse-collection point on Gage Street will be enhanced to ensure its design is in harmony with the environment and its capacity capable of serving residents' needs.
