The verdict is out! The “green corridor” is now known as the Rail Corridor.

The Straits Times reports.

‘Rail Corridor’ to be final project name for former railway land

Rail Corridor will be the final project name for development plans for the former railway land, Minister of State for National Development Mr Tan Chuan-Jin announced on Monday

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) had used Rail Corridor as the working name for this project when the former railway land was returned to Singapore on July 1 earlier this year.

A website was launched on the same day to gather feedback and ideas from the public in shaping the future development plans for the former railway land, including suggestions for a name for the project.

A total of 158 suggestions on the project name were received on the website as at the closing date on July 31st. ‘Rail Corridor’ was one of the top three most suggested project names received. The other two project names were ‘Rail Trail’ and ‘Green Corridor’.

The Ministry for National Development (MND) made this video available today on their YouTube channel.
