Pedestrian and Cyclist Connectivity within Lentor Hills
Lentor Hills
A new neighbourhood conveniently located near the upcoming Lentor MRT station is planned around an existing hillock. It will feature new parks, seamless pedestrian and cycling connectivity between Teachers Estate and Lentor MRT station, as well as commercial amenities to serve the community.

Punggol Point
Located at the north-eastern tip of Punggol town, Punggol Point is envisioned as a green heritage estate, with easy access to dining, retail and recreational facilities. One of its highlights is the 1.5 km heritage trail along Old Punggol Road, which will seamlessly link Punggol Waterway Park and Punggol Digital District to Punggol Jetty.

Providing New Amenities to Keep our Towns Vibrant
Residents across generations will enjoy greater convenience with a number of new community amenities being developed at Buangkok, Punggol and Fernvale.

Punggol Town Hub & Linear Green
Punggol Town Hub will be an integrated community hub featuring a regional library, hawker centre, community club, child care centre and health service centres. Linking Punggol Town Hub to Punggol Central and Waterway Point, the Linear Green under the viaduct will provide residents with a pleasant walk, dotted with playgrounds, fitness corners and lush greenery. Residents can also use it to walk to SAFRA Punggol and Punggol Regional Sport Centre conveniently.
Supporting our Economy
Bringing Jobs to Every Town
With the development of Punggol Digital District and Sengkang West, residents from all the towns in the North-East will now have more choices to jobs near homes. A new employment node is also being developed at Lorong Halus.
Lorong Halus Industrial Estate
Lorong Halus will be progressively developed as a Food, Lifestyle and Logistics cluster, next to the upcoming Defu MRT Station on the Cross Island Line. It will be sensitively designed to be pedestrian-centric, with access to waterfront parks and open spaces for workers and nearby residents to enjoy.
Enhancing our Commutes
Growing our Public Transport & Cycling Networks
Residents of the North-East will enjoy shorter and more convenient commutes. With the completion of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) and Cross Island Line (CRL), the region will be served by 5 MRT lines by 2035. New Integrated Transport Hubs will also provide seamless inter-modal transfers and enhance accessibility to amenities.
We will progressively expand the cycling networks within our towns over the next 10-15 years.
Growth of Public Transport Network and Distribution of Employment Nodes in the North East
Cross Island Line (CRL)
With 2 stations each in Ang Mo Kio, Serangoon and Hougang, residents can enjoy faster commutes across the island for live, work and play!
Ang Mo Kio: A 20-Minute Town within a 45-Minute City
As Singapore’s first model Walking and Cycling town, dedicated cycling paths complement existing footpaths to provide ample space for both pedestrians and cyclists. When completed in 2020, the Lentor and Mayflower MRT Stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line will make Ang Mo Kio even more accessible to the City and the North.

Active Green & Blue Spaces For All
Creating New Recreational Opportunities
Residents will be able to access the wealth of greenery and waterways in the region more easily with new park connectors in future. There will also be new, varied recreational opportunities for all to interact and play together.
North-East Waterways
The promenades along our waterways at Serangoon Reservoir, Punggol Reservoir and My Waterway@Punggol are popular with cyclists and other recreational users. In the future, these waterways will be transformed into active spaces for water activities, connected to recreational nodes such as Punggol Regional Sport Centre, SAFRA Punggol and Anchorvale Community Club.
