9 January 2024

This article has been migrated from an earlier version of the site and may display formatting inconsistencies.

Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Transport in each of the last five years 

a.     how many requests have been received by the Land Transport Authority from residential Management Corporation Strata Titles to construct covered linkways to the boundary of their development; 

b.     how many such requests resulted in the installation of the linkways; and 

c.     for instances where linkways are constructed, what is the mean time between the initial request and the commencement of work.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1.     Over the last five years, LTA has received 86 requests from condominiums for covered linkways to transport nodes, of which 28 were approved.

2.     After the request is approved, it takes approximately six to 10 months for LTA to conduct technical feasibility studies and site investigations, and obtain approvals from relevant agencies before commencing works.
