The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be taking steps to alleviate traffic congestion at the newly opened The Woodleigh Mall after residents at The Woodleigh Residences in the same mixed-use development voiced their frustration over long waits to enter the carpark during peak...

A queue of about 15 to 20 cars had formed at around 7pm on Friday, when The Sunday Times visited the mall. A sign informed visitors that the carpark was full and vehicles were allowed to enter only when others left the premises.

The development is bounded by Upper Aljunied Road, a heritage trail and Woodleigh MRT station. This means that access to the residents’ and public carparks could only be situated on the side of the development adjacent to Bidadari Park Drive, LTA said. Potong Pasir MP Sitoh Yih Pin told ST that his team had raised similar concerns about potential traffic issues in the area before the opening of the mall.

The mall management said that an earlier traffic impact assessment conducted while the mall was under development concluded that a shared entrance would be more convenient to residents.A resident who wanted to be known only as Mr Wong said: “The mall could get more crowded when it is fully opened and when more families move into the new built-to-order flats nearby.”and the remainder are on track to be ready by 2025, the Housing Board said on May 21.
