Open Spaces

A variety of open spaces have been identified in One North, serving different social function of commuting and gathering, and some parks and green patches also provide environmental functions including microclimate improvement and pollution mitigation. Open spaces are important for cyclability analysis, as they impact the visibility and experience.

ENTRANCES & BARRIERS

Barrier Typologies

Barriers where cyclist momentum is affected / disrupted = dismount = loss / decrease of momentum

Pedestrian Overhead Bridges

Pedestrian Overhead Bridges without wheeling ramps, cyclists have to carry their bicycles up the bridge. Pushing devices across the overhead bridge

Bus Stops

Certain bus stops has an additional space for cyclist usually located at the back of the bus stop, to provide seamless flow for cyclist to avoid collision with passenger boarding / alighting / waiting for buses

14 - 20 steps

Staircases

8 - 13 steps

When a cyclist encounter a staircase, one would have to dismount & carry it down, before cycling again to their destination

1 - 7 steps

Informal Crossings

Found in junctions where a footpath or cycling path intersects with a road. Common types of informal crossings include car park accesses, and minor road junctions within neighbourhoods which do NOT have any indication or marking

Cyclists should slow down and keep a look out for the crossing ahead and also look out for approaching vehicles

Marked Non-Signalised Crossing Kerbs

This could be a small factor, one could argue that it’s’ easy for cyclist to ride over / up onto a kerb.

But it’s still requires a certain group of cyclist to dismount & overcome the kerb. It’s also a barrier which affects one’s speed when cycling

Zebra crossings, are indicated by thick solid white lines on the road

Cyclists should stop and look out for approaching traffic before crossing the road at walking speed

Mobility Hub

Reshaping the Major Destination to Promote Everyday Cycling

A Mobility Hub is a future destination for Everyday Cycling in Singapore. It aims to provide a focal point in the existing mobility network by delivering ease in the fluctuation of transportation systems with densified multifunctions and facilities which will encourage commuters to adopt cycling and cultivating a Cycling Culture. One-North, as a built business hub dominated by 70% of business workers, requires a cycling system or framework that offers more diverse and viable mobility choices to accommodate all commuters.

4 Major Destinations namely - Buona Vista MRT junction, Commonwealth MRT, JTC Launchpad, and Siemens Medical factory were strategically identified as key destinations and selected as design sites based on commuting demand factors regarding the density of workers population, land usage, and public participation results.

Three strategies had been taken to transform these destinations into a successful Mobility Hub. Firstly, improving the cycling mobility and accessibility by proposing alternatives access points to destinations to achieve better perimeter control and strengthen cycling systems. Secondly, considering spatial and functional elements by intensifying potential underutilised spaces, and introduce site-specific related programs for commuters demands. Lastly, advocating cycling culture by increasing outdoor cycling programs and activities.

Here are four types of Mobility Hubs:

JTC Launchpad offers a conducive environment and nurturing ecosystem for startups and incubators. The workplace dominated by 2400 workers is continuously innovating, experimenting, and keeping things fun and flexible. By diversifying access points, reducing barriers, expanding common spaces and introducing a ride-thru food court, it aims to strengthen a harmonious system of workers and food places through active mobility, commercial, and recreation.

Buona Vista MRT junction is a complex transportation hub with heavy traffic volume and varied height difference, causing lots of barriers for pedestrians and cyclists. The aim is to make the circulation more efficient and directly by retrofitting and proposing new multi-tiers cycling network system with underutilised and fragmented built structures and semi-open space near the MRT. Siemens is a manufacturing factory which has 7000 blue-collar workers. Currently, the overutilisation of vehicular roads by other mobility groups - pedestrians and cyclists - generate issues that affect the site’s mobility condition. The proposed design aims to transform building and street infrastructures as part of the cycling network. Also, providing standing eating tables, productive fruit trees and in-out exercise track to attract users to commute by bike.

Commonwealth MRT is supposed to the future commuting destination that serves the high commuting demand for commuters from both arriving by train and within the neighbourhood that counters poor existing continuity condition and connects to the surrounding destinations. This project aims to encourage cycling through the transportation destination by retrofitting the existing built infrastructure to be cyclable and intensifying the space to introduce cycling services.

The making of the Mobility Hub is one step towards achieving a cohesive transportation system and allowing people to make choices that are more environmentally sustainable and physically beneficial.

PROJECT B: SIEMENS MEDICAL FACTORY

Transforming building structure and infrastructure as part of the cycling network

Siemens Medical factory is located in the south part of one-north. There are 7000 workers working in this building which is the most in the factory area. Currently, there are no cycling path around the building. Mixing use of the road such as 91 bus return path, heavy truck, private car and conflicting zone between pedestrian and vehicles will be the periphery issues that affect the cycling.

CONFLICTS & BARRIES

No Time And Place To Exercise

7:00 - 8:30

This period is the general start working time and off-duty time. There are three main ways to go to work. One is to take MRT and work to factory, the second is to take the 91 bus, the third is to take Company’s shuttle bus. A large number of workers will buy breakfast in Timber+ and eat at open space around Siemen factory.

12:00-13:00

In this period of time, workers will come to Timber+ to have lunch and have a rest at outside green space.

17:30-18:00

Most of workers will off duty at 17:30, they will stay at the drop off area (in front of the building) and wait for the shuttle bus. During this time, they will chat, eat and rest at the waiting area. Another group of people will go to the 91 bus stop and MRT station to come home.

22:30

This is the starting time for workers who work at night.

STRATEGY1: MORPHING THE CYCLING NETWORK TO MEET COMMUTERS’ DEMAND AND REDUCE THE CONFLICTS FOR BETTER FLOW

Performance:

1. Three kinds of cycling routes to satisfied commuters’ demands

2. Retrofitting the junction and add one more entrance to reduce the conflicts and serve the large number of flows.

One entrance before

Junction before Junction after Two entrance after

3. Transform the steps to ramp to create coherent cycling
