SINGAPORE - Plans to achieve a threefold expansion in the cycling network before an original 2030 deadline could be brought forward, as the Government looks to improve infrastructure to facilitate active mobility.

Mr Lam had earlier announced that the network will be increased to 750km by 2025 and about 1,300km by 2030. Dr Lam said:"The reason why we are doing this is because with the announcement of the ban of e-scooters on footpaths, the connectivity for active mobility users has been affected. The Land Transport Authority said in an update earlier this month that it had issued 3,444 warnings to riders since the ban started.

Ang Mo Kio was designated as a Walking and Cycling Town in 2014, with features implemented to let pedestrians and active mobility users use paths safely.
