Darthrevan Supercharged February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 The shortage of parking spaces in the city could get even worse with Capitaland considering redeveloping the Golden Shoe Carpark now that its revamp of the former Market Street Carpark is under way. The 10-storey Golden Shoe, in Market Street, a stone's throw from Raffles Place MRT Station, contains 1,053 parking spaces with retail and food outlets on the first three levels. CapitaLand group president and chief executive Liew Mun Leong said it was always the company's intention to redevelop both carparks. 'It's a matter of timing... In 1996, when I was already (chief executive), we already had plans for both carparks. We need the approval of the Government... and then we have to see the timing of the demand for office space.' source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_763845.html ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadaw 6th Gear February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 Just take MRT or car sharing leh. It was never wise to drive to the city in the first place. I also do car sharing if there is no conflict of timing & plans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also do car sharing if there is no conflict of timing & plans. discouraging CBD parking will help reduce the volume of private car traffic which causes congestions in CBD if left unchecked... other than well connected trains/stations within CDB, low-rent bicycles + shelftered cycling tracks etc will have move communters without the use of private cars.... more travellators linking buildings also help...... will govt willing to spend on these things to benefit the pple? they have collected / still collecting tons of money thru ERP/COE/ARF etc for more than 3 decades!!! where has the money gone? Paris etc have low-rent bicycles... and their weather is not superb all year round.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about decisions met way back in the late 70s or the 80s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyvern 1st Gear February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 Dont think there is enough place to build exactly same number of lots temporary carpark in town area. Yah, you could be right. But I was thinking that LTA could 'break up' and spread out the temporary parking instead of setting up a location in a full replacement for the 1K parking lots.
