Bicycle Update

we have received a Circulrar from Managing Agent dated 28 Jun 2019 saying that the MCST has decided to put the bicycle removal exercise on hold until the matter has be discussed amongst owners at the next AGM (probably sometime in September).

This is good news and shows that they are willing to listen to owner concerns.

Another letter concerning bicycle parking was circulated by another Resident Owner dated 27 Jun 2019 and it seconded my suggestion to wait until the AGM. 

All good :)

What lies ahead

The planning details of  the vast area behind out estate has been fleshed out in the 2019 Masterplan

There will be stretch of linear park directly behind but what is worrying is the plot ratio of the buildings beyond that - 3.5! Looks like we will have Costa Del Sol-type monstrosities looming over us - lets hope they will plant a few big trees to block out the worst of it.  There will be a dead end road fronting us - not sure why - perhaps just the access road to the condos/HDBs to be built. Down the road it looks like a new shopping centre (blue area) to be built over the Bedok South Station. 

A car-lite district - with a new flyover towards the city continuing on from Bedok South Road. This will hopefully ease the traffic along our stretch of the road.

Bicycles

We all received a Notice from MCST to remove our bicycles from the basement carpark by June 30 2019.

Now my bicycle (shown) isn't doing anyone any harm down there and there is ample space for it to sit and wait for my return and I think it rather high-handed of the MCST to demand their removal. Where are we supposed to put them? 

It prompted me to write to all residents and I posted the following circular under each door. Thankfully, this is a tiny estate compared to my last estate with 560 units and the job completed in under 5 minutes :)
