The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said the new estate will be car-lite, pedestrian-friendly and well-served by public transport, with good walking and cycling connections.

Future residents will be within a 10-minute walk of either of two MRT stations – Sixth Avenue on the Downtown Line or Turf City on the upcoming Cross Island Line. Mr Lee said the latter will be completed in 2032.

URA said the estate will be developed over time, starting with areas closer to existing transport nodes along Dunearn Road – where Sixth Avenue MRT station is located

Centrally located areas within the estate, such as those closer to MRT stations, will be used for high-rise housing to allow more to live near transport nodes, said URA.

URA said four distinctive neighbourhoods are likely to be built in Bukit Timah Turf City, “each featuring new public spaces integrated with existing landscape and heritage buildings to reflect their unique characters while promoting community bonding”.

The first, Racecourse Neighbourhood, will be anchored by two historic grandstands and a new central open space reminiscent of the racecourse’s original racetracks.
 
PAP must take this opportunity to mandatorilly convert all Bukit Timah properties to 99 year leaseholds.
