SIMEI STREET 3 AND UPPER CHANGI ROAD NORTH (Construction of pedestrian overhead bridge and installation of pedestrian crossing)

Mr Teo Chong Tee asked the Minister for National Development whether the Public Works Department will (i) construct a pedestrian overhead bridge in front of Changkat Primary School in Simei Street 3 and (ii) install a push-button pedestrian crossing in front of the new Japanese Association/School along Upper Changi Road North.

Mr Matthias Yao Chih (for the Minister for National Development): Sir, on the first question, Simei Street 3 is a 4-lane road. The junction of Simei Street 3 with Simei Street 1, which is 60 metres from the school entrance, is signalised and there are pedestrian crossing facilities at this junction. School children from Changkat Primary School can safely use these pedestrian crossing facilities.

On the second question, the PWD will install a signalised pedestrian crossing in front of the new Japanese Association and School along Upper Changi Road North. 1.30 pm
