Lorong Chuan station
Lorong Chuan MRT Station (CC14) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Circle Line.
Before the station opened, Singapore Civil Defence Force conducted the third Shelter Open House at this station on 4 April 2009, together with Bartley and Bishan stations.
Controversy
In June 2003, Singapore Land Authority (SLA) offered Chuan Park (a 99-year leasehold condo near the site of the station) residents S$1 for 220 sq m of land, which comprised mainly car park lots. The land was necessary to build the Circle Line. The 99-year leasehold condominium at Lorong Chuan, off Serangoon Avenue 3, has 446 units, so the compensation works out to just 0.2 cents a household. Outraged residents say the amount was too 'ridiculous' to even consider. Eventually, the car park was rebuilt and returned to Chuan Park.[Citation Needed]
Art in Transit
The artwork featured in this station is Through the Looking Glass by A Dose of Light and Yoma Studio (Yong Ding Li, Ang Song Nian, Zhao Renhui, Sai Zom Pha and Juliana Ong) which designed a hand-drawn artwork depicting the entire island of Singapore as well as the sea-faring activities.
