[PRO] Re: 292-300 Rundle Street | 68m | 21 Levels | Mixed Use

I actually think a development on the cinema site (former IMAX and Palace) would be ok as it could be set further back from Rundle Street and better integrate with Ayers House & grounds. The cinemas could relocate to a redeveloped uPark site at the top of Rundle.

The Pellagra proposal sucks.

That massive blank wall ain't great. Looking forward to the mural that will cover it.
What mural?

I thought there was supposed to be some sort of golden gatehouse going in between the GPO and Electra?

Re: News & Developments: Glenelg

This is hilarious although worryingly the Holdfast council appears to be humouring the complaint: "Glenelg seafront residents petition to remove ‘too bright’ mural" on InDaily For reference, the residents are lamenting the loss of this concrete sea wall to a charming mural: https://wp.inda...

Re: Push For Public Transport To Be Free In Australia

My view is that free PT might increase ridership among existing users but wouldn't do much to expand patronage and certainly wouldn't improve services in a way that would attract more people. Indeed, service quality would likely decrease due to forgone revenue and increased costs. Equity issues can ...

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic

Some people regard all speed limits are unnecessary. It's clear that the people who understand these things have decided there is sufficient reason to change it. They say it will improve safety and reduce crashes, based on modelling and reviews. I guess time will tell if the crash rate changes. I d...

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)

The Premier also brought up the Tarrkarri site (not by name), but did say a lot of work was going on behind the scenes to make sure they got that building right. He wanted it to be of global significance and worth telling friends about and getting on a plane for. There was an article on ABC News On...

Re: News & Discussion: Cycling

Looks good and hopefully only the first stage to a longer upgrade as you suggest.

I’m not sure if the concrete channel is required for flood management but I’d love if more of both Keswick and Sturt creeks could be naturalised or at least semi-naturalised with gabion walls.

Re: News & Discussion: Cycling

its clear it can cope with one lane each way Apart from access to the Wilson car park that is. I saw that creating relatively long queues on several occasions during those works. @whatstheirnamesmom - Do you remember if the right turn lanes for people accessing the car park from the south are being...

Re: News & Discussion: Cycling

This is actual construction, which is meant to be beginning today. Bike SA and Bike Adelaide have been reporting this. I viewed the tender documents a few months ago, I assume not too much has changed in the final design. From Rundle St to North Tce we'll see a copy/paste of the bikeway as it exist...
