We, a group from sec 3I, are embarking on our social advocacy project. We would like to lodge a complaint regarding floods around Raffles Institution (RI) and Raffles Junior College (RJC) vicinity which include floods along walkways around RI, and also along Bishan Road, Bishan St. 21 and Braddell Road especially after heavy downpours. These minor floods are basically due to water accumulation across impermeable surface from heavy rainfall and cannot rapidly dissipate. This is also a result of uneven pathways, improper leveling of roads and inadequate drainage. These areas around RI and RJC are heavily used by Rafflesians to get to several bus stops in Bishan and Braddell Roads, and also to Bishan MRT Station. Many other pedestrians including those living in Bishan and also other passers-by also pass by these areas. These routes are commonly used by those who take public transport which include buses nos. 13, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59, 58, 88, 93, 156, 157, 163 and 410, and the North-South MRT Line. Singaporeâ

My son complains about this all the time. Ridiculous that a school area is constantly flooded.

Bishan road is a nightmare during a downpour. Totally agree with this.

About time someone highlighted this. The walkways are a mess.

Dangerous for students and pedestrians. The water pools way too fast and it becomes a slip hazard for everyone.

Fix the drainage already!! The puddles are massive and you end up tripping over uneven tiles trying to avoid the water.

Every single time it rains my shoes get soaked walking to the bus stop. It is really frustrating to start the school day with wet socks.
