Park Connector Network

As part of the National Cycling Plan to promote cycling, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is constructing networks of cycling paths within towns. These cycling paths connect with the PCN, enabling people to safely cycle both intra-town (e.g., from home to MRT station) and inter-town (longer distance cycling).^[2]

History[edit]

The proposal to form a park connector network was approved in 1991 by The Garden City Action Committee.^[3] In 1995, The Kallang Park Connector became the first park connector to be implemented. Stretching over nine kilometres, the park connector links two regional parks: Bishan Park and Kallang Riverside Park. In December 2007, the Eastern Coastal Loop, a 42-kilometre loop, was completed, providing a link from East Coast ParktoChangi Beach Park. By January 2012, 200 kilometres of the PCN has been completed.^[4] In 2015, NParks has completed 300 kilometres of the PCN, along with the Central Urban Loop.^[5]
