"SINGAPORE: In the near future, one will be able to stroll, jog or cycle around the whole of Singapore just by following an extensive route.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is developing a 150-kilometre round-island path as part of its Leisure Plan. National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan revealed details of new recreational options at the Architectural Design Awards 2008 ceremony on Wednesday. The round-island route will be developed over the next 10 to 15 years, but up to two-thirds of the path – which includes the Punggol Coastal Promenade – could be ready in just five years.
At three and a half times the length of the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), the route will comprise existing and new park connectors, waterfront promenades and other trails. It will also cover leisure destinations at the Marina Bay, Changi Point and the upcoming Jurong Lake District. "
