COME end September, parking woes at Holland Village might ease when a series of measures implemented by the Housing Development Board (HDB) takes effect.
Holland Village is one of the more popular hangouts in Singapore and parking here has always been a challenge. -- ST PHOTO: MUGILAN RAJASEGERANAn Electronic Parking System (EPS) will kick off from Sep 22 at the Holland Avenue carpark - just behind the Cold Storage supermarket.
Free parking on Sundays and public holidays will be discontinued.
The measures will help to better regulate parking demand, HDB said in a statement.
The Lorong Liput entrance to the carpark will also be converted into a one-way street to facilitate access to the carpark.
Motorists can exit the carpark via Lorong Mambong - before 6.30pm - or Holland Avenue.
Holland Village is one of the more popular hangouts in Singapore and parking here has always been a challenge.
This was made more so after the Bali bombings in 2002, when parking along some stretches of restaurants and pubs were banned.
Over a hundred more lots were removed in Oct 2004 when two carparks nearest to the shophouses were closed for the construction of the MRT Circle Line.
In 2005, a multi-storey carpark containing 89 lots was built in Holland Village to help ease the carpark crunch.
