SINGAPORE - The cycling path network will be almost doubled to 800km by 2023 - two years ahead of schedule, said Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min.Said Dr Lam"We previously announced that there would be 750km of cycling paths by 2025. We will bring this milestone forward by two years."
MPs including Mr Ang Wei Neng and Workers' Party Non-Constituency MP Dennis Tan had asked for updates about the cycling path network. This cycling path density is comparable to cities such as Amsterdam or Copenhagen, and will also allow residents reach their nearest town centre within 20 minutes by walking, cycling or riding, he added.
"Towns which currently lack cycling paths or have many active mobility device users will have cycling paths built first," said DrLam.
