Taking a bus just to cross the road...

THE escalator near Parkway Parade has been closed for repairs and will be out of commission for another 12 months.
Elderly residents who used it to cross the road to get to the bus stop now have to walk to the pedestrian crossing at the junction of Joo Chiat Road and then walk to the bus stop.
I am aware of the Government's desire to keep the elderly fit by making them walk, but think of us on rainy days. The alternative is to take bus services 15 or 966 to cross the road.
Could an opening be provided nearer the bus stops?
