LRT to the rescue

A member of the Macau Institution of Engineers’ Executive Council said that the government should take the opportunity of the construction of the Light Rapid Transit (LRT) on Macau Peninsula to resolve Sai Van Lake’s pollution problems, Macau Daily Times reports. Sio Chi Veng said that the LRT is an opportunity for the government to resolve the lake’s water and silt problems. He also said that the authorities might use some of the lake space to build new car parks. The engineer also believes that the option for an underwater section to connect Sai Van station and Barra Station is based on the decision to protect the view of Sai Van Lake.
