WALKWAY SHELTER BETWEEN YISHUN MRT STATION AND BLOCK 749

Mr Cheo Chai Chen asked the Minister for National Development if his Ministry will consider constructing a temporary walkway shelter with lighting for the footpaths between Yishun MRT station and Block 749 at Yishun Street 72.

Mr Lim Hng Kiang: The footpath between Yishun MRT station and Blk 749 Yishun Street 72 is a temporary footpath across a piece of State land reserved for future development. There are no plans, as of now, for the reserve site. However, it will be a waste of public funds to construct a temporary walkway shelter with lighting over the footpath and demolish it in a few years' time to make way for development.
