But where will we park?

Orchard Road set to become one of world’s greatest shopping streets:

Singapore hopes to turn Orchard Road into “one of the greatest shopping streets of the world”.
The Government is considering releasing vacant sites and car parks along Orchard Road for flagship retail stores or multi-concept lifestyle establishments comprising retail, food and beverage and entertainment facilities.

Existing planning and building guidelines will be reviewed to allow building owners greater flexibility in redeveloping existing properties through the creative use of space and intelligent designs.

Public infrastructure and pedestrian mall will also be improved, the overall pedestrian and street experience enhanced and more events introduced to inject greater vibrancy into Orchard Road.

What will the Remaking Orchard Road committee do about the consumers who wish to drive and park at Orchard Road? The last time I was back, it was still very difficult to find parking anywhere — what’ll happen if they eliminate some car parks? Boy, are people going to be disgruntled.

I wonder if the committee’s thought about how crowded Orchard Road already is on the weekend. Fucking hell, it’ll be sardine-packed if this works. Easy targets for pickpockets.
