Archery court like the one under Pasir Panjang viaduct Plenty of seating and more access points Great job! Viaduct columns as mural/art media Art illustrations Garden / more greeneries Flea market -

Picture #1, Picture #3, Picture #5

Picture #2, Picture #4, Picture #5 Picture #1, Picture #4, Picture #5 More colourful! Maybe more murals or graffiti or art? I feel like when its grey and less attractive id be less inclined to stay in the space. A splash of colour would add more vibrancy and make me see it less as just some random tunnel or transient space :) -

Picture #1, Picture #4, Picture #5, Picture #6 Picture #5 Allow people to do street art. (Reference Hosier Lane in Melbourne) Picture #2, Picture #3, Picture #5, Picture #6 for more shade so that people can rest there too! Picture #1, Picture #5, Picture #6 Listen the voice from the surrounding （nature or human factor）

Picture #2, Picture #4, Picture #6 More vegetation cover would be great
