LETTER | Time to convert the open land opposite the MRT station as an open car park.
| Motorists taking the train at Cochrane MRT Station will have to park their vehicles illegally at nearby roads and lanes and hope they will not receive a notice of parking offence or have their vehicles vandalised.
A portion should have been turned into an open carpark and motorists would be happy to pay a reasonable entrance fee for peace of mind and security. It appears that these commuters are expected to fend for themselves or use parking facility at other MRT stations. But during every Ramadan, there has been no shortage of makeshift stalls at popular spots, particularly near shophouses where traders can seek refuge during rain. But operating in an open space offers no protection from the searing heat, strong winds and heavy rains - and the danger of lightning strikes.
Those who have driven past the junction of Jalan Peel with Jalan Shelly in the evening would be dismayed with the haphazard parking when roadside parking lots are occupied by tables and chairs spread out by hawkers.
