🥁 Drumroll for safer and more inclusive ‘hoods, especially for seniors, please! 👵🏻👴🏼
 
In addition to the 5️⃣ pilot towns announced at #COS2023, we’ll be expanding the #FriendlyStreets initiative to all towns in Singapore by 2030! 🥳 This will create more pedestrian-friendly and convenient ways for residents to travel within their ‘hoods to key amenities like hawker centres, community clubs, and schools.
 
Together with the community, we’ll be working closely together to discuss and implement the features that are tailored to their needs.🤝
 
Watch our video to see some of the features that #FriendlyStreets would include! 

Hurray! We’ve just announced that there’ll be a Friendly Street in ✨ every town ✨ to create safer, more convenient and enjoyable journeys for everyone by 2030! 🎉🌞

Here’s a quick #TLDR of what went down earlier at the groundbreaking event and a sneak peek on some of the features (and faces 😉) coming to #FriendlyStreets.

#ICYMI - We will be starting construction works for the first of five #FriendlyStreets pilot locations! 🎉 This will make daily commutes in our ‘hoods more convenient, safer, and inclusive for everyone - especially for families with children, seniors, and those with mobility needs.

Each neighbourhood will have features co-created with the community, catering to the unique needs of each town. Such features include:

☀️ More barrier-free crossings to improve accessibility;
☀️ Longer crossing times at signalised junctions; and
☀️ Traffic-calming measures e.g. road humps or narrowing road lanes to slow motorists down.

#FriendlyStreets will enable everyone to commute more conveniently and safely in their ‘hoods, especially for families with children, seniors, and those with mobility needs. 👧🏻👵🏼👩🏽‍🦽

With more pedestrian-friendly features that make walking or cycling easier to get to key amenities, you can look forward to wider and more barrier-free crossings as well as shorter waiting time at signalised pedestrian crossings.

Best part? These features will be tailored to residents’ needs so that you’ll have a more delightful commute in your ‘hood! ☀️😎💖
