1.5million per km of walkway. That's just... WOW. SINGAPORE: When it poured, some Fajar Secondary School students were late for school while waiting out the rain at void decks or at bus stops. Others turned up at school soaking wet, having run the distance that's not covered by sheltered walkways. But since sheltered walkways leading to the school gate were built this year, the school in Bukit Panjang has seen more students turning up on time on rainy days, said its vice principal. The walkways are part of 200km worth of sheltered walkways that have been built in the past five years under the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) Walk2Ride programme. LTA announced on Saturday (Sep 15) that a milestone in the programme has been completed, at a cost of S$300 million. "Where feasible, walkways have been built to schools, healthcare facilities and other public amenities within a 400-metre radius of MRT stations, and within a 200-metre radius of bus interchanges, LRT stations and selected bus stops with high commuter volumes," said LTA.

May 31, 2008 Chiam fulfils walkway promise made at 2006 polls By Keith Lin Mr Chiam (centre, with garland) walks in the linkway which links Potong Pasir MRT Station and Block 147. -- ST PHOTO: CHEW SENG KIM THE completion of a covered walkway in Potong Pasir marks the fulfillment of a promise Mr Chiam See Tong made during the 2006 General Election. On Saturday, the opposition MP 'opened' the walkway which links the MRT station to the town centre, amid a shower of colourful confetti and a rousing lion dance. Hailing the walkway as proof that the opposition 'will fulfill whatever we promise', he told reporters: 'At the last election, I said I will build this covered linkway, and now this task has been completed. We have done our job.' The project, which costs the town council $250,000, also ended a dispute between Mr Chiam and Mr Sitoh Yih Pin from the People's Action Party, who lost the contest for the ward in 2006 polls. Before the election, Mr Sitoh had installed solar lamps along the pathway - where the walkway now stands - after obtaining lease of the land from the Singapore Land Authority (SLA). When some of the lights were vandalised, Mr Sitoh declined to repair them, saying the land's lease was due to expire. Mr Chiam, on the other hand, said it was illegal for his town council to use its funds for the repairs, as the land was not under the council's jurisdiction. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...76.html?vgnmr=1 sianz.... my lift upgrading is nowhere in sight... worst then in opposition wards.
