Lorong Chuan MRT Station
(article from From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
This article or section contains information about a planned or expected future railway station. It may contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change dramatically as the construction and/or completion of the railway station approaches, and more information becomes available.
Lorong Chuan MRT station, tentatively (CC14) is a proposed underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Circle MRT Line in Singapore. It is located at the western end of Serangoon Avenue 3, between Chuan Park & Springbloom condominium. The station will serve the neighbouring Nanyang Junior College, St. Gabriel's Primary School, Australian International School, New Tech Park and the private estates and condominiums along Serangoon Avenue 3. When it is ready, it will become one of the three stations that is in between 2 interchanges (along with Clarke Quay MRT Station and Tanjong Pagar MRT Station).
Chuan Park $1 Saga......
In Jun 2003, S$1 was all that the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) offered Chuan Park residents for 220 sq m of land, which comprised mainly carpark lots.
At just 0.2 cents a household, the compensation offer has riled residents of the 99-year leasehold condo. Almost all the 500 or so carpark lots are now taken. It needs the land for the new Circle Line being built. The Lorong Chuan MRT station will be close to Chuan Park.
Residents say the condominium will not get its land back even when the station is ready. The 99-year leasehold condominium at Lorong Chuan, off Serangoon Avenue 3, has 446 units, so the compensation works out to just 0.2 cents a household.
Outraged residents say the amount was too 'ridiculous' to even consider.
Commens, anyone?

Chomp Chomp Food Centre To Be Upgraded
NEWS RELEASE NO: 51/2003
DATE OF ISSUE: 16 September 2003
Serangoon Gardens Food Centre, popularly known as Chomp Chomp, will close today for six months of upgrading under the National Environment Agency's Hawker Centres Upgrading Programme (HUP). The refurbished centre will reopen for business in April 2004.
2 The 31-year-old Chomp Chomp built in 1972 was chosen for this second batch of the HUP because the main parts of the centre's structure such as the roof and columns are dilapidated. The low roof also obstructs natural air circulation and offers little shelter during a downpour. After years of wear and tear, the old wall and floor tiles have many cracks causing the floor to be very uneven.
3 The newly upgraded food centre will retain all the existing 36 stalls in their present location and size as they are sold stalls, but a new roof and new mechanical and electrical services will be provided.
4 The new layout of the stalls will enable open courtyards to be incorporated in two areas, allowing more natural ventilation and light. Both indoor and outdoor refreshment areas will be incorporated in the new design, with the latter in timber and sheltered by umbrellas for an al fresco dining style. The area directly in front of the food centre will be built on a raised timber platform with low timber railings. (Please see the artist's impression below.)
5 The new, pitched roof will have clay tiles and its timber rafters will be exposed at the eaves to give Chomp Chomp a more rustic kampung ambience. The toilet block will also be redesigned with landscaping and the wash basins will be relocated outside. This new design will help make maintenance easier and hopefully encourage people to keep the toilets clean.
6 To date, 17 hawker/food centres have been upgraded under the NEA's HUP. Recently, two food centres in Jalan Berseh and Commonwealth Crescent started HUP upgrading. Five centres - at Block 127 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, Blocks 131-135 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, Tanglin Halt Market, Kallang Estate Market and the East Coast Lagoon Food Centre - will be completed by the end of this year.
