Draft Masterplan 2008!

Wang Wei was my tour guide at Draft Masterplan 2008 launch today. Many thanks for the thorough explanation :)

I am impressed with the Draft Masterplan 2008. Definitely more exciting than the 2003 one because most the areas that need to be developed/re-developed, ear-marked as "Growth Areas" in the Masterplan, were formally addressed this time. These include places like Kallang, Jurong East and Paya Lebar. There are more concrete plans now. Some ideas intrigued me, like a second storey air-conditioned walkway from Kallang MRT to Sports Hub. We can do away with Service 11 (heheheh) since it would be more convenient to walk there now, even for Persons-In-Wheelchair. Such a walkway should be built in Orchard too.

Integrated with the Transport Review from LTA, Draft Masterplan 2008 definitely has a wow factor to it.
