SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is
inviting the public to suggest names for 13 Downtown Line 3
stations.
LTA said the proposed station names should help commuters remember
the names and identify the area of the station.
It should also illustrate where possible, the history and heritage
of the station surroundings.
In addition, the station names should not be named after public
structures, or commercial and residential developments.
Participants are required to briefly provide the rationale for
their suggested names.
The Downtown Line 3 is a 21km underground rail system comprising 16
stations, starting at River Valley station and ending at the Expo
station.
The stations involved in the exercise are located at River Valley,
Bencoolen, Sungei Road, Jalan Besar, Kallang Bahru, Mattar, Ubi,
Kaki Bukit, Bedok Town Park, Bedok Reservoir, Tampines West,
Tampines East and Upper Changi.
The three interchanges -- MacPherson, Tampines and Expo-- are
excluded in the exercise since the names will remain the
same.
The public can send their suggestions to the LTA website
or by fax and mail.
The closing date for submission is on January 12 next year.
