<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=530 align=center border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Is this drop-off shelter practical?

​

STOMPer LG wants to know what the purpose of this shelter is. This is especially since it is unusually large and too tall to shelter from rain.

The STOMPer says:

"This is a drop-off just newly constructed outside my flat as part of the upgrading works (Bishan St 12 near Block 105).

"Any layman can see that this drop off obviously does not work due to a few observations:

1) It is too high to shelter rain
2) It is too high even for a tall vehicle
3) The structure looks too huge and oversized
4) It is not proportional to its surroundings

"The question I want to ask is who designed it and who approved this design? An architect or an engineer or a contractor?

"Whoever it is, the design is not sensitive enough to ensure its practicality.

"Why do they use tax payer's money to build a potential white elephant?

"There are more than one of this structure in the nearby precincts. This is a joke".

The idea is to make it improper . Then can do correction what !

Then collect money again for work done, the contractors !

Where is the picture? It must be a wonderful structure of Taj Mahal standard down at the former graveyard that Bishan used to be.

A picture speaks a thousand words. It may even speak the truth.

so many of these car shelters and rain shelters everywhere.car comes jams.rain comes all wet. this type of shelter is world class lah! okay u see a new car park, then u see all sorts of redigging and redesigning again and again...then u see cements flaking away..u see paints flake over our cars..you see steps broken down...you see the doors cannot close...you see all sorts of malfunctions from our world class workers...you see here and you see there..and you pay $90 per month for this type of shelter...rain comes, your car got wet...then you see workers redoing and redigging again here and there...

this is world class construction work lah...always digging each other everywhere.cheers!

same as those new bus stop, when it rains, the shelter is as good as no shelter cos the angle is too high. Compare to the old ones, at least you still have 1/3 of the space that wont get wet.

dont know how they approve such design in the 1st place, must be approved by some scholars.

The new shelters are designed by people with no brains and approved by people who don't need to use them ( Hope that helps )
