Hi bro, Ya I got it. Criteria is that the secondary lot must be of the HDB of an immediate family member of the car owner. It's worth the buy but downside is that the 2nd season parking is given lower priority compared to normal 1s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
she_888 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Blessed Christmas to all in Blk 79! =) Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all neighbours as you can see, I am new to the neighbourhood having just moved in. Talking about Xmas, to all neighbours with children, elderly folks or pregnant wives. Please be very careful when using the pedestrian walkway beside BLK 177, outside the furniture shop on the way to and fro the MRT / interchange. I was nearly run down by an idiotic motorcyclist on Xmas evening while walking back to Blk 79C. He was riding very fast on the pedestrian pavement and this made me very furious and I shouted at him to tell him to get off the pavement. The motorcyclist not only did not apologize, he challenged me to report him. Frustrated, I called the TPY NPC and feedback to the officer on the other end about this incident and the numerous motorbikes parked illegally there….. The officer had the cheek to ask me to take pictures of the illegally parked motorcycles and email to Traffic police myself. This remark really pissed me off and I asked the officer sarcastically if he wanted to give me his month end salary since I was doing the police work for him. I told him whether he knew that the problem poses a great danger to residents and pedestrians like myself and asked him whether they would wait till someone gets killed before they would act. Trying to get me off the phone fast, he said he would dispatch a patrol car down to take enforcement action on the motorbikes park illegally (up to 10). As I needed to go down to popular to get something, I went back down towards the interchange after 20 mins. Guess what, the police never showed up. WTF… Only then did I notice the full extend of the illegal parking problems by inconsiderate motorist….. almost everyday after that, I would notice at least 10 or more motorcycles parking at the pavement illegally and numerous zipping in and out on the pavement. Isn’t the pedestrian pavement supposed for only pedestrian? I’m wondering why HDB did not install barriers to prevent motorcycles from riding onto the pavement when it is so obvious so many people uses that pavement and why the police from TPY NPC is so lax in their enforcement on this problematic and dangerous area. Does anyone know who or which department I should write to to get the problem rectified for the sake of all the children and elderly using that particular pavement?

The mentality of our local Matas are if nobody is injured, please DIY and write in to the other relevant authorities which will in-turn "Tai Chi" with u. If someone is injured and not too serious, please call 995 and wait for them to come, if someone is injured seriously or dead then call the Matas. Otherwise we juz got to be extra careful and look left and right whenever you walk on pavements, crossing the traffic lights or especially zebra crossing.
