Potong Pasir is a friendly neighborhood and a home to residents of all ages. It is a great place where residents can enjoy the facilities or do their last minute shopping whenever they need to. Though there are pros and cons of it.
Firstly, the roads are filled with numerous number of traffic lights, This means that would cause a traffic jam if too many vehicles are crossing the junction at peak hours, this would inconvenience everyone though. An example is the 4 traffic light junction just outside the Potong Pasir fast food Macdonald's. Many people would pres the traffic light and cross the road which stops the vehicles for awhile and slowly by slowly it would have a long traffic jam. This has been experienced by many Bus 142 daily passengers and trying to get home as soon as possible after their long day of work and experience a traffic jam at the junction towards Potong Pasir. Another reason is that the Council would have to use up more on the costs to build traffic lights. In our opinion, there should be a swap of zebra crossings instead. This would allow everyone to cross the road when they need to. Causing less waiting time and occurring traffic jams. Though, there are people like the elderly who needs more time to cross the road while the traffic light only allows a limited time to cross.
Potong Pasir offers food at a huge variety of choices ranging from international food such as Vegetarian, Japanese, Fast Food, Chinese, Indian and much much more. Nearby fast-food restaurants make it convenient for residents to order rather than to travel all the way to Toa Payoh just to order fast food. They have lots of food outlets like nearby hawker centers and food courts just below the blocks that the residents can enjoy their family dinner or convenient takeaways. The residents enjoy the reasonable prices of food and the quantity of food, having even other people to come all the way to Potong Pasir just to try the food here.
Next, the town council offers courses available for the residents at reasonable prices such as Pefuming Secrets, Batik Fabric Box Making, Creative DIY Japanese Nail Art, and this list just goes on and on. The council knows that the elderly or young tend to have nothing do during the holidays and therefore organised such courses to ensure that they do not get bored! Sounds interesting!
Lastly, Potong Pasir is a place which offers facilities for the young and old to use such as Basketball and Badminton Courts, Archery Area, Football Field and many playgrounds. Using the motto 'Work Hard, Play Hard', allowing studying students to enjoy their playtime after school with their friends with a game is a good way to end the day, not forgetting to do their homework.
To sum up all the Pros and Cons, regardless of the disadvantages the council will still try their best to ensure that Potong Pasir residents enjoy their neighborhood. Though, Potong Pasir is known to be close to perfection with the feedback of the residents. A loving neighborhood indeed.
