All in RT,Bukit Timah drives.No need MRT.
Not true. Maybe all families will have a car but still need MRT cos not everyone will get to drive especially teenagers. With MRT, more people who come to BT hill can come via public transport so improving traffic conjestion.Originally Posted by LTA
why not? that piece of land is state land. at today's market price, government is smart to use own land than to pay high price for en-bloc?
[QUOTE=Unregistered]I was just told that there may be an MRT station for the new Bukit Timah Line at the vacant land besides Southhaven.
That's good news!! Hope it's true. Where do you get news from?
Can't youn see owners of RT are highly educated?
Feel free to post your comments in either english or chinese, no translation is needed.
我们有梦可以做，你呢？蹲在雨树路边吃酸酸的葡萄?
Unlikely cause that pot land can build another development. I would think that if the MRT station is to be in that area, it should be the bare pot of land beside the road /driveway into Raintree. Just my thoughts.
This is really funny! What are you trying to tell us? You mean you can read us but we can't "read" you?? I hope not becos the RT site is so popular that it is inviting participants from another dimension? hehehe...
Well, maybe it is big enough to accomodate two? If confirm MRT is there, gov can sell the "balance" of the land at very very high price?
What I heard is they are looking at a station near Courts. This plot is just opposite Courts so there may be some truth in this.

My IQ and EQ is not as high as yours, I don't understand your statement at all. So, are you from the other dimension?
Are you a RT owner? I hoped you are not.
The latest URA masterplan is not out yet, current version is still 2003 and the 2008 version would spell out everything. From the 2003 masterplan, the plot of land beside Southhaven and the land infront of RT are meant for Residential projects. Now that the land in front of RT had been split by the new drive way, it would not be suitable to build anymore residential projects but perhaps some amenities. Again, this is just my own judgement.

Hmm feels like I am missing something from the linguistic translation/ banter. Perhaps locally percieved humour retorted in local Chinese language may ironically sound "funny" in another way to those more attuned to the finer points of the language?
*confused by the other other dimension comment!
Anyway all are entitled to their own opinions, dreams or otherwise no?!? Hope no one would be sarcastic & rude by starting "better than thou" discussions here!
*Peace!
whoo.........whoo...........WHOO...........heheheKEKEKE...
Downtown Line MRT station is opposite Beauty World on the designated state land to serve the Toh Yi HDB estate. No way it's opposite Courts lah... doesn't make any sense, HDB folks need MRT more than the private condo folks.
But there are only a handful of Toh Yi HDB flats, doesn't provide economy of scale. On the other hand, private condo dwellers on the other side of the road far outnumber the no. of HDB dwellers. If plan is in place to have more residential projects in that area, then the need to facilitate a better public transport system is even more urgent. If having a MRT can cut down the frequency of car owners using their cars, then it argurs well for less congestion, better traffic and less population in that area. Moreover, having a MRT station near Bukit Timah hill is also for the good/convenience of the whole population of Singapore, not to mention the tourists as well.
typo erroer: i mean less pollution, not less population
Don't forget that there's still alot of empty state land near hill which can be deployed as residential area. If confirm MRT near hill, state land can be sold to developer with a heavenly profit. Just my thought.
Stop the delusions and guesses, there's too much of these going on in this thread. Do you know how long it has been since the state land opposite Beauty World has been kept empty and unsold? Close to 25 years since the Beauty World open-air market was burnt down! This piece of land was kept unsold and unutilized for a key strategic reason - MRT station! Toh Yi estate just a handful of flats? Are you sure, have you ever walk/drive around this estate? It's not a big estate, but it's definitely not just a bunch of 5-10 blocks in the estate either. To be fair, location opposite Beauty World is in the middle of HDB and private estates further up north.
To be even more fair, MRT station should sit right in the middle between these 2 plots, right in the middle of Beauty World. Fair enough?

Don't be selfish. You are not the only one reading this forum. There are other forumers who may be interested to know about the various possibilities. You can't stop us from discussing topics that are of interest to us albeit not of interest to you. Please be more civic-minded.
Agree. Look at Botanic Gardens station.... many HDB there? A station is built there to give easy access to Botanic Gardens.
Same with BT Reserve... this will be taken into consideration.
It doesnt matter where the exact location of the MRT station is gonna be. The presence of one in the area will already up our home value.
Personally, I would rather not have the train station too near Raintree. I'd rather keep the condo quiet and elusive, instead having streams of MRT communters near my home.
The new BTL will surely bring much interest into this part of the island. If you compare the prices here to other parts of the island, surely we still have a lot more room to go.
Agreed. Botanic Garden station is a good case to illustrate the point.
On the contrary, the exact location of the station will make a huge difference to the price increase. However, I am happy already if one of the exits leads to BT hill.
well, there is nus near botanic gardens station.
