The Harbourfront Commission has announced plans to construct a new pedestrian walkway at the praya of Kennedy Town, according to chairman Ivan Ho. This development will allow for better views of the nearby seawall, which was recently granted a grade 2 historical status by the Antiquities Advisory Board. Ho emphasized that the authorities have taken the historical value of the seawall into account during the design process, aiming to create a walkway that enables visitors to appreciate the structure from various perspectives.
He assured that safety measures will be in place to ensure the seawall's stability is not compromised by the new construction. Ho also expressed hope that the project could utilize technology to showcase the praya's history and better educate the public about the seawall's background and significance.
