HDB gets 430 responses on Long Island preparatory works; parkgoers seek to keep East Coast Park recreation
Singapore's Housing Board received 430 responses to an environmental study for preparatory works ahead of the Long Island reclamation off East Coast Park. Parkgoers asked that recreational spots such as Bedok Jetty and a surfing area known as Longkang Point stay usable, and that marine life including sea turtles and horseshoe crabs be protected. HDB said works will start at least 130m from the shoreline in phases west of Bedok Jetty, with monitoring of water quality, sediment, noise and dust.
