The central area cycling path network connects several MRT stations, including Clarke Quay, Tanjong Pagar and Telok Ayer stations. It also reaches three newly opened Thomson-East Coast Line stations: Shenton Way, Marina Bay and Gardens by the Bay.
"For safer and more convenient commuting experiences for both pedestrians and cyclists, LTA widened existing signalised crossings and implemented new crossings along the paths," it added. Speaking at the launch on Sunday, Transport Minister S Iswaran said: “Here in the CBD and heritage district, there is great potential to make walking and cycling the preferred way to get around.
The new paths will make it safer and more convenient for people to cycle from MRT stations to areas such as Tanjong Plaza Plaza, Lau Pa Sat, Market Street Hawker Centre and Hong Lim Complex, he added.There are about 4,800 public bicycle parking spaces in the CBD area, located near MRT stations, popular destinations, amenities and other transport nodes. This includes 120 bicycle parking spaces that LTA provided by repurposing 12 streetside car park lots.
