• The station was first announced in August 2010 when the DTL Stage 3 stations were revealed.

History

• The station was first announced on 20 August 2010 along with the 16 stations of the 21-kilometre (13 mi) Downtown line Stage 3 (DTL3) from the River Valley (now Fort Canning) to Expo stations. The line segment was expected to be completed in 2017.
• A key challenge of the station's construction involved the temporarily diversion of an existing canal for the implementation of the diaphragm wall. And link 'diaphragm wall'
• The expanded canal was restored upon the completion of the station box.
• On 31 May 2017, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that the station, together with the rest of DTL3, would be opened on 21 October that year.

Details

• The official station code is DT30.
• the station design incorporated bold palettes and sculpture-inspired designs as part of the "Station in the Park" concept.
• Wider fare gates allow easier access for wheelchair users into the station.
• The message was a straightforward line that Ng hoped to remind commuters how far they are from their dreams. And replace 'line' with 'phrase'
• The artist initially proposed a literal illustration of the water cycle,

• General eligibility:
• New enough:
• Long enough:
• Other problems:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The guideline WP:INTEXT advises that In-text attribution may need to be used with direct speech (a source's words between quotation marks or as a block quotation)... It seems DYK allows leeway for this not to be in the hook, but a reader should be able to see in the article where the quote came from. It also avoids the appearance of a WP:SCAREQUOTE. Alternatively, is paraphrasing an option? I don't have access to the source; is it possible to provide a relevant excerpt here for review? Otherwise, I'll WP:AGF. —Bagumba (talk) 11:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Here's the excerpt of the page for your perusal.--ZKang123 (talk) 09:28, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@ZKang123: Thanks. It's a nice metaphor to quote (and I'm not creative enough to offer a paraphrase). If the in-text attribution is added to the article, this should be good to go.—Bagumba (talk) 15:08, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

@Bagumba: fixed.--ZKang123 (talk) 10:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

@ZKang123: Sorry if it wasn't clear. I meant that the article needed in-text attribution added as to who said "dribbles down". I'm neutral on whether it needs to be in the hook or not. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 10:17, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Oh I see. Will fix that haha. Ok, done.--ZKang123 (talk) 10:19, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

@ZKang123: In the snapshot of the source you linked above, "dribbles down" wasn't quoted. Wouldn't that mean that those specific words should be attributed to Zhuang and Soh, the source's authors?—Bagumba (talk) 10:33, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Edited accordingly.--ZKang123 (talk) 12:48, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Approved. @ZKang123: It seems that Soh was a photographer and not listed as an author, so I tweaked the attribution to Zhuang only. Feel free to modify if I'm wrong.—Bagumba (talk) 15:58, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
