\nNew cycling path networks will be built in Toa Payoh, Woodlands, Choa Chu Kang, Geylang and Queenstown, announced the LTA.
\nSingapore\u2019s cycling networks will be expanded over the next five years, with new cycling path networks in Toa Payoh, Woodlands, Choa Chu Kang, Geylang and Queenstown, announced the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Tuesday (26 Mar).
\nWoodland\u2019s cycling paths will be expanded by around 20km \u2013 making it one of the estates with the largest intra-town cycling networks.
\nThe new cycling paths will provide residents seamless connectivity to four MRT stations \u2013 Marsiling, Woodlands and Admiralty MRT stations as well as the Woodlands South station on the upcoming Thomson-East Coast Line. Connectivity to industrial estates and key amenities will also be enhanced.
\nToa Payoh will also see the construction of a 7km cycling network \u2013 offering residents \u201cgreater connectivity between their homes and the Toa Payoh town centre, Braddell and Toa Payoh MRT stations and bus interchange and other key amenities in Toa Payoh\u201d, said LTA.
\nIt noted that bus stops within the area will be redesigned to better accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.
\nChoa Chu Kang\u2019s cycling network, on the other hand, will be expanded by 12km.
\nLTA is also looking at widening the existing footpath along Choa Chu Kang West Flyover to improve cycling connectivity to Yew Tee town.
\nMeanwhile, a 150m-long cycling path will be built in Geylang and a 2.3km-long one in Queenstown to allow residents to \u201cride directly to the city centre\u201d.
\n\u201cEstimated to complete in the next five years, these new cycling paths will add on to the 120km of cycling paths across the island and nine cycling towns implemented to date,\u201d said LTA.
\nIt added that it will continue to work with relevant agencies to ensure that every HDB town will have a cycling path by 2030.
\nSeparately, LTA revealed that it will call a design consultancy tender later this year \u201cto study how to enhance the walking environment within Jurong Lake District (JLD) and improve its active mobility connectivity to neighbouring towns\u201d.
\n\u201cThis will complement the existing 15km cycling path network in JLD and upcoming cycling paths in Taman Jurong that are expected to be completed in 2020,\u201d it added.
