 * "Exit C of Kovan MRT station." no full stop required.
 * "The station construction" -> "Its construction"
 * "required the multiple diversions" delete "the".
 * "Bus, Taxi" taxi.
 * "All the residents were reported" I doubt "all" were happy.
 * "the expected benefits" such as?
 * "US$144.67" etc, reduce precision.
 * "additionally includes the" included.
 * Is there a good link for "cut-and-cover"?
 * "contractor has to" had.
 * "to discover the pipes" ->"to determine their location".
 * "mechanised excavation could begin. This was to mitigate.." the mechanised excavation was to mitigate? I don't think so.
 * "temple have been bought over" tense, and I'm not sure what this means. Do you mean these were acquired and demolished or something else?
 * "residents have to put up with some inconveniences" a little trivial, and the tense is incorrect. I would just delete and say what happened during the construction.
 * ""ensured the ... to ensure" repetitive.
 * "station has been renovated" -> was
 * "to important chains" delete important.
 * Link those chains.
 * "within walking distances to the Kovan " -> "within walking distance of the Kovan "
 * "headways" link.
 * "The artwork at the platform level." no full stop.
 * "Reflecting the time and progress of the Kovan area..." reword this part to encyclopedic tone rather than guidebook prose.
 * "programme - to allow" en-dash.
 * I think you've overdone the artwork section considerably. It can be suitably covered in a few sentences, not a few paragraphs.  Has it won any awards?
 * ref 21 SHOUTING.
 * Article is still marked a stub, regardless of the outcome of this GAN that isn't the case.
 * Addressed the points above. The source articles regarding the station's announcement did not provide many details on how much convenience it might bring but checking with another related article (cited) it mentioned relieving the traffic in the area, so yeah I included that. I am also unsure of the exact details regarding the acquisition; the sources did not elaborate much but I supposed they have to make way. I will look more into it. I rather keep the artwork section as it is, since there are much more details on its development (along with many of the DTL artworks). I did attempt to summarise and rephrase certain unnecessary sentence, however. Also removed the stub template at the bottom.--ZKang123 (talk) 12:24, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Still a bit fancrufty on the artwork, e.g. "the work has a tone of irony", "discovered interesting details", etc. Needs toning down a notch or so.  The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 13:28, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
