REQUEST FOR PEDESTRIAN WAY FROM BUANGKOK MRT TO TO PALMVIEW PRIMARY SCHOOL
We refer to your email dated 7 Jul 2014 which was addressed to Mr Gan Thiam Poh, MP for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC with regards to your request for a pedestrian way on the vacant land from Buangkok MRT to Palm View Primary School.



2 We wish to share that the vacant land is scheduled for housing development in the near future. Hence, it is not feasible to construct a footpath on this vacant land.

3 However, we wish to take this opportunity to inform you that HDB is currently constructing a covered linkway, linking from Blk 282B Sengkang East Avenue to the side gate of Palm View Primary School. This linkway will likely be completed in September 2014. By then, parents and students can consider to make use of this covered linkway through Sengkang East Ave/Sengkang East Road/Sengkang Central.



4 Should you require any further clarification, you may contact our Senior Estate Executive, Mr Danny Chew at Tel No 65774253.



Thank you.



Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms Yong,

We refer to your email dated 25 Nov 13.

We are pleased to inform you that there are already plans to include a covered linkway connecting between Palm View Primary School and Buangkok MRT Station under the Walk2ride scheme.


However, as the surrounding developments have yet to be fully completed, we will only commence on the construction when they are completed.


If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call me at 6936 2690.

the linkway that is going to build seems only useful to those staying ard Blk 282 or so? how abt those children going to sch via the buangkok mrt? sighzzz still have to walk under the hot sun/ rainy days

[cheerbear]

jus wondering why cant LTA build a linkway from the buangkok mrt to the sch which is along the main road rather than across the mrt to the sch even tho’ this route is longer but at least better for the children.

They have to get the developments up first then they can tink about building the sheltered walkway along the footpath. They can't build it now because once the development begins construction, the sheltered walkway will be blocking the access into the construction areas.

As what wiselyn mentioned, it will be a while before we can see it happen.
