VACANT LAND ADJACENT TO SERANGOON GARDEN MARKET

Dr Lau Teik Soon asked the Minister for National Development and Communications what is the outcome of the study into the feasibility of using the vacant land adjacent to the Serangoon Garden Market as a car park.

Dr Tan Eng Liang (for the Minister for National Development and Communications): Sir, our study confirms that there is a demand for parking spaces in the vicinity and it is feasible to convert the vacant land adjacent to the Serangoon Garden Market into a car park. Some 36 parking lots will be available. We are looking into the introduction of a pay-parking scheme there.
