The Urban Renewal Authority has proposed to revitalise five themed streets in Mong Kok at a cost close to $100 million.

The authority chairman Barry Cheung today said the revitalisation plan covers Flower Market Road, Tung Choi Street, Sai Yee Street, Fa Yuen Street and Nelson Street.

Themed plans featuring cheerful scenes of birds and flowers, ideal fish environments, leisurely shopping and the sports world will be adopted in the proposal.

Fresh outlook: The Urban Renewal Authority has proposed a revitalisation plan for Fa Yuen Street, Flower Market Road and Tung Choi Street.

Careful consideration will be given to the themed streets' unique character as well as their existing conditions, Mr Cheung added.

Streetscape and pedestrian walkways improvement, and greening will be carried out to enhance the street ambience, to match and enhance each of the five themed streets' speciality, and to highlight the variety and character of Mong Kok.

The plan also calls for the installation of themed street furniture, special directional signage and decorative pavements.

The authority will commission a consultancy firm to study and work out an implementable design proposal. It will then work closely with relevant government departments on the proposal and will also consult the Yau Tsim Mong District Council and stakeholders.
