The Green Corridor

On July 1st 2011, the Malayan Railway Land in Singapore became available to the Singapore government for development.  The old Tanjong Pagar Railway Station Passenger Terminal and the old Bukit Timah Railway Station are to be conserved as historical sites and hundreds of people have been seen walking the old rails, from Kranji to Tanjong Pagar, now that the trains have stopped running.  However, the government has not yet announced how they plan on developing this land.  


Nature Society Singapore (NSS) has submitted a proposal to keep the railway land as a Green Corridor after the train operations cease.  It has the potential to become a clean, green cycling and pedestrian path, connecting nature reserves and other green spaces.  Imagine being able to see a cross-section of Singapore - the wetlands, hills, cityscape, residential neighborhoods, rainforests, and small fruit and vegetable farms - all on the same route!  NSS also hopes to preserve the railroad as a historical landmark to remember the relationship between Malaysia and Singapore, as well as fading memories of old Singapore.  

Help me support The Green Corridor.  I would love to see this railway become a place for everyone to enjoy.
