It will become easier to walk and cycle in Ang Mo Kio come 2018. The Land Transport Authority and Urban Redevelopment Authority on Tuesday (Dec 30) announced preliminary plans to make the town more conducive for walking and cycling.

A 16-kilometre walking and cycling network has been proposed.

There are also plans for a 2.6-kilometre corridor connecting Yio Chu Kang MRT station to Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. Located along the MRT viaduct, this will give cyclists and pedestrians a seamless path.

Authorities also said a code of conduct will be introduced, laying out a set of rules and principles to guide the behaviour of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

This is to ensure an enjoyable and safe experience for everyone, especially those who are more vulnerable, like seniors and children.

The goal is to build a good walking and cycling system to encourage more residents to take up more green modes of transport.

Members of the public are invited to share their feedback on the preliminary plans, either online at www.walkandcycle.sg, or at a roving exhibition which begins on Wednesday.
