On 4 November 2018, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong opened a new sheltered linkway that will allow residents of the Fern Spring and Fern View estates bounded by Fernvale Lane and Fernvale Road to access the nearby bus stop along Yio Chu Kang Road. It also links the 3rd storey of the multi-storey carpark at Block 404 Fernvale Lane to the bus stop. This linkway project was a community initiative mooted in 2017 by grassroots leaders, and fully sponsored by SCB Building Construction Pte Ltd to build it. This linkway has made the neighbourhood to be more accessible for residents, especially elderly residents. As most of the housing blocks are built on a slope, residents in the past would have to walk up a 40-step staircase from the ground floor of the carpark to reach the top of the slope, where the bus stop is located. Now with this linkway, they can just take the lift to the 3rd storey of the adjacent carpark and get to the bus stop without climbing the stairs.
