RESULT FROM THE INTERVIEWS

Having interviewed quite a number of people (skate park users and non-skate park users) it is apparent that a problem about safety really is persistent. To be honest, it seems like the 'fear for one's safety' comes mostly from the pedestrians. Well, I can totally understand that. These group of people just want to go to work, get their jobs done and head back home. But the problem is that 'they have to worry' every time they walk across Somerset Skate Park. 

It is also evident that skate park users, especially skateboarders, are more concerned about learning or landing a trick than their safety. And interestingly enough they also worry about pedestrians who are clueless about the dangers they face when they cross the skate park. 

Listed below is the complete breakdown of this topic's main concern - pedestrian safety. 

  1. Time when the problem is at its worst - 5-8 PM. (Time when workers are headed to the MRT Station)
  2. Days which the problem is at its greatest - weekdays.
  3. Possible solutions presented by both skate park users and pedestrians - fencing the perimeter of the skate park, warning signs, a special pathway for pedestrians.
