Town Council Goondus Erect Barriers at Walkway Meant to Help Elderly and Handicapped Move Around

Wheelchair-bound individuals are going to have a pretty tough time when it rains at this sheltered walkway in Bedok North Avenue 4.

Concrete blocks were erected there, presumably to ensure that speeding cyclists slow down and not pose a danger to uncles, aunties and kiddies living there.

Good intentions aside, the structure once again smacks of a another poorly thought-out idea by the area’s town council.

It also goes against the very purpose of building sheltered walkways with smooth ramps rather than steps.

Just recently, a ruckus was raised at Queenstown over removable railings that were placed at a void deck so that residents found it hard to use the space for everyday communal activities.

The railings would only be removed for functions.
