Holland Village, Serangoon Garden, Jalan Kayu to be preserved as 'identity nodes'

Mixed-use projects to roll out.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority unveiled the Master Plan Draft 2013 yesterday. In the Draft Master Plan, three new identity nodes will be added - Holland Village, Jalan Kayu and Serangoon Garden – in recognition of their unique charm and wide appeal to the community.

Here's more:

Popular with locals and visitors alike, Holland Village with its cafes and eateries will be enhanced with a new extension that includes new public spaces and mixed-use developments with an urban village feel. This new extension will further enhance the existing character of the area and will be pedestrian oriented so more can enjoy the charm and vibrant lifestyle of this well-loved area.

The iconic Serangoon Garden circus near Chomp Chomp, one of our favourite food haunts, will be retained as a key identity marker. Street Block Plans will be drawn up to sensitively guide the urban design for new developments and ensure that the Serangoon Garden estate retains its character and charm.

Over at Jalan Kayu, improvement works will be carried out to enhance the access and visitor experience to the quiet area. The works will include the addition of new pedestrian pavements, improved links to the nearby Thanggam LRT station and the planting of more greenery.
