KARTer 2nd Gear April 1, 2012 Share April 1, 2012 Question on preservation of Bukit Brown aside, why can't Lornie Rd be widened to ease traffic jam? Isn't it cheaper and quicker to widen the existing road than to build a new one cutting thru the cemetery? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latio2005A Turbocharged April 1, 2012 Share April 1, 2012 (edited) Question on preservation of Bukit Brown aside, why can't Lornie Rd be widened to ease traffic jam? Isn't it cheaper and quicker to widen the existing road than to build a new one cutting thru the cemetery? Maybe after opening a road, it will be easier for the govt to exhume the rest of the land in Bt Brown, and sell the surrounding areas to improve the NATIONAL RESERVES! Govt is good at employing 2-step approaches...eg, raise GST but give rebates for X-no of years. Increase utilities but give "some" rebates to some, move CPF goalpost a bit at a time so you and I become immune...just too many times the govt had use this methodology until IMH patients also know liao.

Darthrevan Supercharged April 1, 2012 Share April 1, 2012 i'm just making an educated guess..widening Lornie road leading to Braddell might make the SICC lose some golfing space..and part of the land is utilized by MacRitchie reservoir..which is part of the nature reserve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear April 1, 2012 Share April 1, 2012 Question on preservation of Bukit Brown aside, why can't Lornie Rd be widened to ease traffic jam? Isn't it cheaper and quicker to widen the existing road than to build a new one cutting thru the cemetery? I believe many people can have many ideas. I believe value for money to divert part of the east-west traffic through an entirely new dedicated East-West overhead/aboveland route, or overhead route along the Nothern coast. More land can be available for other usage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they afraid to spoilt the nature in macRitchie by building an elevated road over it. But perhaps they are not afraid by building an elevated road over the grave yard since they have no living things inside there?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
