    I walked from side gate, cut through the canal, ended at escalator to MRT. So far consistently 8 min, not exactly brisk walking as I tried to slow down. I am not exactly a fast walker. But do take it with a pinch of salt. 8-12 min?

    That is walking to Tai Seng. Walking to Bartley is considerably nearer. Walk along side of Bartley Secondary, along the "drain", you will see SPCA and then Bartley Station. That will take 8-9 min.

    There was actually a plan by the MP Lateef to build playground and proposed sheltered walkway along the canal. There will be a meet-your-neighbour session in Oasis next week. Maybe can ask her whether the plan to build sheltered walkway to Bartley is confirmed?

    Bartley station is nearer and actually safer at night. Many students pass by through Jalan Bunga Rampai out to Upper Paya Lebar Road. My wife avoids Little Road at night as it is more dimly lit.

    The plan to build that sheltered walkway to Bartley road has been there since 2 years back when I visited the OG showflat. The agent mentioned it but nothing was done. I seriously doubt it will come to pass unless more people make noise and demand it.

    During the meet-neighbour-session, MP mentioned work on playground will start end of the year. Project will take 4-6 months for completion. While there will not be a path along the canal (approval not granted), there will be one beside the proposed playground/fitness corner. This path will be slightly longer than the canal, but 'supposedly safer' as it is not beside the canal.
