SG: HDB implements Mechanised Parking Systems to ease lack of space

HDB has decided to roll out the Mechanised Parking System to 3 pilot sites in Bukit Panjang, Yishun and Changi Village in a bid to see if it addresses the issue of parking in older HDB estates. The carpark at Block 259A Bangkit Road, Block 666A Yishun Avenue 4 and behind Block 1 Changi Village Road will serve as the test sites. The construction of the system will be completed by 2015. There have been car park shortages in new estates as a result of the increase in car ownership. Due to the lack of space, adding extra parking space is not an option. The MPS pilot programme would allow HDB to gauge public acceptance of the system.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
