Mr Ang Wei Neng asked the Minister for Transport
a. of the lifts that have been built at pedestrian overhead bridges (POBs), how many are near to an MRT station; and
b. whether the Ministry will consider building a lift at the POB near Block 350 Jurong East Avenue 1.
Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan:
1. To date, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has installed lifts at 47 pedestrian overhead bridges (POBs). 20 out of these 47 POBs are located near major MRT stations. The remaining POBs with lifts are located near amenities, such as bus interchanges and healthcare institutions. The lift retrofitting programme will be expanded to around 50 more POBs, including the POB near Block 350, Jurong East Avenue 1.
