The space under the subway viaduct may be used in business and community purposes in the future, adding vitality to these spaces.The government is evaluating whether the space under the designated subway viaduct has the potential to develop, and the valuation of the public market rental land will be launched.
With the expansion of the scale of urban land, demand has continued to increase, and the space under the viaduct can also be reshaped, which is more dynamic.For example, the Bentway Park in Toronto, Canada is located under the fast road, with a total length of 1.75 kilometers; the Underline Park, Miami, USA is also located under the subway viaduct, with a total length of 16 kilometers.
The Singapore Ministry of Communications and the Land Transport Administration are exploring the possibility of how to use Caiyu Port Metro Station and Yishun Metro Station to be adjacent to the ground under the viaduct.On January 19th, the Land Transport Bureau passed the government e -commerce website Gebiz to tender for the "Public Market Rental Land Rental Land Rental Land under the Metro Viaduct".
According to the bidding document, the designated Caiyu Port Metro Station is adjacent to the area of about 6,840 square meters under the viaduct, and it is 6,350 square meters.The current plan is to discuss the rental space for 10 to 20 years, including the possibility of two years of construction period.
It is reported that these grounds are managed by different government agencies, including the Land Communications Bureau and Housing Development Bureau.
Land Communications Bureau: Discuss how to use space to make it more energetic
The Land Communications Bureau responded to the United Morning Post inquiring that the Ministry of Communications and the Land Communications Bureau discussed how the possibility of using the adjacent space of the subway station to make these spaces more vibrant.Japan and other countries have successfully introduced similar projects to use the space under the viaduct for community use, etc., and also provide other services.
The Land Communications Bureau said that research is still in the initial stage, and the official is understanding the cost involved; once the project is confirmed feasible, other issues such as space ownership will be considered late.
If you finally decide to develop space under the viaduct, the official will consult with other government agencies, society or business institutions, and grass -roots consultants, and then determine the use of space.
Allen (26 years old, chemist), who lives near Yishun Metro Station, said: "If the space under the viaduct can be developed into a public activity area, it is believed to be an art festival from time to time.Independent art workers bring good performance. "
Hong Yajiao (75 years old, retirees), who lives near Caihuang Port Metro Station (75 years old, retirees) said: "Land is limited, I hope the official development of a longer green channel, and the elderly to move more.It is even more ideal to integrate retro elements and build more grocery stores. "
Scholars: Officials should also consider people's needs and desires
Dr. Lin Weiqiang, an associate professor of the Department of Geography of the National University of Singapore, said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that the development of the development of the viaduct is to enhance the attractiveness of transportation nodes. The so -called commercial use may include catering, and community uses include parks and libraries.
He said that unless the new facilities are unique, people should not visit these subway stations, and nearby residents should be the most benefited from the project.
Dr. Li Huade, an associate professor at the Business School of Singapore Social Sciences, said that based on limited land, many countries are developing space under the viaduct, which are generally used in parking, building retail and community facilities.
"Rental is just one of the considerations of space use, otherwise many uses other than retail will be excluded. Officials should also consider the needs and wishes of the people."
As for whether the project will affect the house prices near the subway station, Li Huade believes that although these projects may increase the vitality near the subway station, the area involved is relatively small, so the impact on house prices is believed to be neutral.
