MRT in D15 *eastern region line

[curry1295]

ya, saw SI just behind VS.
i think base on the latest land use plan, this location makes sense since they reclaiming and developing the coast.
siglap hdb site seems less potential w many landed houses around.

I thought this site is for residential purposes!!

[eng81157]

Huat ? What Huat?

Government already announced almost every MRT lines except this one...and I like to remind u..its 2020....even the link to KL is announce...huat??

eh, just an exclamation!! think others are not aware of the ERL?
take a chill pill

[tkc2263]

so siglap stn is not at the hdb afterall........

I am still of the opinion that the Siglap Station will be sited at the HDB blocks.

Otherwise, why would the government SERs these blocks? It only makes sense only if they can build high blocks to accommodate more flats, in other words to increase plot ratio in the 2013 Masterplan.

We shall see.....anyway whatever is being written/reported here are mere heresays... the truth will be out soon..

My worth..

Looking forward to the announcement too. Wonder whether the completion will be delayed a little though, with the first few stations opening by the scheduled 2020 completion, and the rest opening over the next two years. That's what's happening with the TSL. Initially scheduled to be opened by 2018, but now pushed back to 2019, with some stations opening as late as 2021.

Construction needs to be spread out, so as not to overload the industry (and cause increases in construction prices due to greater demand on existing capacity). This might cause our ERL to be delayed, so that construction does not coincide with the ongoing building boom.

Yes, yes....the plot behind VS is in the GLS reserve list. so the soil tests is not for the MRT afterall?

I was reading this thread & the other in skyscraper city.
Having stations so close to ECP does not make sense. Sad if it comes true.

This means more people commuting further via feed bus to catch a train.
And I thought one key parameter is to get as much people within 5-10 min distance to stations.

Looks like the HDB opposite Siglap Centre is no longer in the running for a MRT Station by the looks of things..

Then why SERS those blocks???? Mixed development in the making???

Little India & Farrer park do serves residential areas all around all directions... also for tourism ...

Did the master plan allow for more land exclamation along ECP?

bro, any reclamation efforts will take place after 2030. and there are no plans or suggestions what the land will be used for. add 10 years for reclamation to complete and another couple of years for the soil to settle and stabilize. we are potentially looking at 2045 and beyond, before any concrete stuff materialize.

by then, we may not be around to witness the change.

Eastern coast line in 2020
... but i believe east park area / reclamation / development will be beyond 2050...
For next 20 years, it's all about making a better park / beach recreation area

So ECL needs to be located further north of current speculated location...
Then again, I have little faith in our scholars...
Look at the boo boo on loan curbs by MAS & forgotten about hire purchase act by MOF...

until the land is reclaimed, the park will remain as it is unless announced otherwise. we or our MND minister may not be alive to witness all these planned developments by 2050
