After much discussion and deliberation to arrive at a project name for the upcoming development on the former railway land, members of the Rail Corridor Consultation Group (RCCG) have decided to call the project the “Rail Corridor”.
The project’s final name was announced by Tan Chuan-Jin, Minister of State (MOS) for National Development, during his visit to the Re-imagining the Rail Corridor exhibition.
Since the former railway land was returned to Singapore on 1 July 2011, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has been using Rail Corridor as the project’s working name.
On the same day, a website was set up to gather ideas and feedback from the public on future development plans, as well as name suggestions for the project.
There were 158 suggestions received on the website and Rail Corridor was one of the top three most suggested project names received.
Other popular suggested names were “Rail Trail” and “Green Corridor”.
“We are all part of this effort and the selected project name is endorsed by the RCCG members. I am glad that our engagement with the members has been very good so far, and everyone has contributed useful inputs and ideas during our regular meetings,” said Mr Tan, who also chairs the RCCG.
