Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Water) - Rochor Canal 梧槽运河 (2020 0909)
A 1.1-km stretch of the Rochor Canal between Jalan Besar and Crawford Street has been transformed into a vibrant waterway that integrates with existing residential and commercial developments seamlessly. A highlight of the makeover is the urban promenade that runs along the river and reconstructed bridges enhancing connectivity to the surrounding enclaves and MRT station. The Gateway Plaza creates a focal point for the community, while the pergolas and lookout decks bring people closer to water. 11 Rain gardens that treat rainwater runoff also offer learning opportunities to nearby residents and students.Length: 1.1km
