By the end of next year, popular Singapore landmark Boat Quay will see its outdoor refreshment areas as well as three other outdoor spaces enhanced as the it gets green light for a S$5 million facelift after garnering support from the majority of stakeholders in the area.
The enhancement will see three open spaces with new public seating and enhanced landscaping that will allow better views of the Singapore River.
According to the Urban Development Authority (URA) the works will also improve both the physical environment and fire safety as the existing overhanging wires across the promenade will be removed and located underground. It will also provide more open dining area and will include retractable canopies that can be lowered to provide diners protection from the rain.
“Slots have been designed for menu boards and signage, and beams provided from which to mount lights and fans. The timber-like floor decking was also specially chosen for easy maintenance.”
The enhancement works will commence in phases beginning the first quarter of 2016 and will take about 10 months, URA said.
