The track could be relaid in Standard Gauge and ^cycle-drasines placed along the line for rental by users. This could provide an alternative to cycling and would be unique compared to other cycling areas such as those at the NParks areas.

Opportunity not to be missed. Allows for an uninterrupted cycle track across Singapore (Spine) with branch tracks (Ribs) linking heartlands; residential areas and Parks for transport;recreation; exercise. Keep a green corridor. For carbon reduction; noise absorption. Planned commercial development.

SIngapore has a very unique one off chance to provide a dedicated cycling; running; jogging and walking track. Stations can be used as food and beverage stations. It could be world class and green in design. Solar powered night lighting; ecological facts along the path etc.

We can encourage more exercise among the Singaporeans and reduce traffic congestions at the same time if it can be turned into Bicycle tracks with existing greeneries preserved. These bicycle tracks encourages commutation to and fro the city(Tanjong Pagar) in pleasant morning and evening surrounded by fresh greenery and air. Completed with bicycle parking spaces, small stretch of shades from sun and rain.

A bike path and walkway the length of the railway line. This is simple to implement and really needs no other amenities along the way. It wouldn't encroach on the exisiting jungle and its wildlife. It is an easy track so whole families would use it often. It would be a shame not to utilise such a wonderful asset!

Have a non-stop green path north-to-south; provide distance markers. Make it accessable by foot& strollers; bikes; rollerblades;ie 4 families w children of all ages. Add a playground or 2 along the route. Use old wooden sleepers for benches. Buy old train cars& use them 4 rain shelters/shady pit-stops

Besides retaining the greenery; different activity hotspots for arts (sculptures); sports (horse-riding); horti-agriculture (allotments for general public) and tree-houses (retail spaces) could also be integrated; and these hotspots should then be joined by the environmentally friendly trams.

i think the turfing is beautiful. keep at least some section of it (the bukit timah station is a good choice as it is wider and has shelter) where people can have picnics, community gatherings etc in this space. it keeps it green without losing the community and heritage value of the corridor and its surroundings.

I would suggest the govt body try to convert the 26km of railway track into a sightseeing train/cycling/jogging track to let local or visitor to take the train from woodland to tanjong pagar vs verse and beside the railway we can grow more flower and fruits tree or make it into a park. In this case we can retain the rain forest as well as letting local enjoy the peacefulness and scenery of the 40 yrs piece of valuable land and memories.

I really like the photos shown in URA's website on Promenade Plantee. Wish our railway track can be turned into something like that, not only providing a fantastic breakaway for Singaporeans, but it will definitely serves as a tourist attractions.
A bicycle track is a must, though, as it is too challenging to walk for the whole track.

1) A short rail line between the station and the turntable; with an old ""Thomas the Tank Engine"" locomotive offering rides to the public. The rest of the old railyard can be a green children's park
2) A pedestrian/bike path along the old rail path - see the Galloping Goose Trail in Victoria; Canada

How about converting it into a open bazaar; lined up with hawker foods. Something we unique and nostalgic. I would love to see lined of the good old days street hawkers (of course well watered for hygiene). I think we have enuf of modern mall; shops and which tourist are not excited to visit.

All future developments are to follow part of an Aerial Plan to provide a public connected space above ground. It can be like Duxton plain housing jogging track; but loner and fully public accessible. It can be the world's highest man-made marathon route where the air is fresher and the view unbeatable.

Hope that it can develop into a place that has a park, playground, museum, art gallery, shops selling art & crafts from over the world, restaurants whereby we can dine inside a train etc

All the playgrounds at parks like McRitchie & Pierce reservoir have been taken away:( We used to play there when we went for walks. Now we don't. It's more boring. Put 1or2 playgrounds at the green corridor; & put an old train & train carriages that we can climb on/in. Also; call it "The Rail Park."
