Considerations for Land Area Proportion for Roads at Car-Lite Zoned Public Housing Estates

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Acting Minister for Transport whether the Government's definition for car-lite zoned public housing estates takes into account the proportion of the land area dedicated to roads.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.     The proportion of land area dedicated to roads varies across car-lite estates, depending on the type and scale of all land uses in the specific estate. Car-lite estates generally have more bus lanes and dedicated cycling paths, as well as wider footpaths.
