Bicycle Parking Capacity Standards in HDB Estates

Mr Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik asked the Minister for National Development whether the Ministry is reviewing current bicycle parking capacity standards in HDB estates to account for both residents' personal bicycles and the rising number of bike-sharing bicycles.

Since 2014, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) has provided dedicated bicycle parking racks in all new Build-To-Order projects. Currently, HDB provides one bicycle lot for every six dwelling units, with additional safeguarded space that can be converted by Town Councils (TCs) into additional bicycle lots when the need arises.

For estates built before 2014, HDB has increased the bicycle parking provision to one bicycle lot for every six dwelling units since 2019 where feasible. Where there is demand, HDB has been working with TCs to identify suitable locations within void decks to install additional bicycle racks.

With regard to shared bicycles, the Land Transport Authority is currently working with HDB to review the implementation of additional designated spaces for shared bicycle parking.
