Camrysfa Turbocharged October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 Conservation at work. Total banned areas now total 18. It is to prevent parking and traffic problems from worsening. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/no-new-eating-houses-at/1409976.html SINGAPORE: The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has named seven new locations where additional eating houses will not be allowed to be set up so as to prevent the existing parking and traffic problems in the areas from worsening. This brings the number of places where new eating houses will not be approved to 18. The new sites deemed to be problematic traffic areas are: Changi Road, which include Jalan Eunos / Still Road to Jalan Kembangan and Frankel Avenue Upper Paya Lebar Road from Lorong Ah Soo to Paya Lebar Crescent Bukit Timah Road, at Wilby Road to Elm Avenue and Anamalai Avenue to Fourth Avenue Sembawang Road - from Mandai Road to Transit Road Kampong Bahru Road to Sporttiswoode Park Road Kampong Glam Jalan Riang in the Braddell Heights area. The URA said it has worked with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to assess the existing traffic and parking situations as part of their periodic reviews. The agencies also took into account the concerns of residents, as well as existing tenants who want a balance of businesses in the area. Mr Saeid Labbafi, chairman of the Kampong Glam Association, said: "What the Kampong Glam retailers wish to see is a balance between the businesses. We do know that this place is place targeted for conservation, one of the historical places in Singapore. The more time passes, the more the place becomes unique because of its rarity in the area and because of its cultures, and all this thanks to lot of help from the government. We wish to see a balance of the businesses here." For proposed eating areas outside the existing list where food establishments can no longer be set up, URA said it will evaluate them with the LTA, for consideration of approval under its planning guidelines. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktglfc Hypersonic October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 If can, build a MSCP around the areas, will solve the parking woes, and to reduce illegal parking. If unable to, looks like this is the better interim measure now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If build MSCP at East Coast Road, then 'they' will lost the GRC there also ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 If URA don't allow this eateries, who can afford to eat $10/- 'char quay' from Peach Garden ... I know one does ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 Good move. Those places already have too many eating places. Traffic already slow moving. They should include kovan, where the ali shan and punggol nasi lemak is. Practically all day long the left lane is unusable. Buses need to filter to middle lane to move on.

Dark 5th Gear October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 For once they are doing the right thing rather than increasing cp rates or introducing COE for eateries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buses need to filter to middle lane to move on. after the cameras were installed right outside Ponggol nasi lemak..I've not seen any drivers whom dare to stop/park/drop off passengers anymore..I hope more cameras can be installed island wide so it'll eradicate illegal parking/stopping/dropping off & Sinkapor can move towards a 1st world country 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 I thought it will be a better idea to implement COE for eateries rather than a straight NO? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
