SINGAPORE: The development of cycling paths in Singapore is being accelerated, with such paths expected to span about 800km by 2023.

By 2023, all Housing Board towns will have cycling paths, said Dr Lam, adding that towns “which currently lack cycling paths or have many active mobility device users” will have cycling paths built first. Next year, work will begin on intra-town cycling paths in Choa Chu Kang and Woodlands, while new cycling paths in Geylang and Queenstown linking existing park connector networks to the city centre will be completed.

Responding to concerns raised by Jurong GRC MP Ang Wei Neng, Dr Lam noted that trade-offs are necessary in constructing such paths in more mature estates.
