Re: #Vision: New Inner-City Stadium
Consider answering this fundamental question ==> Do you want the S-A forum to continue unchanged, or become a well respected pro-development group? I would like to see us get a solid foundation of facts, truth, history etc behind us and become more of a pro development voice. We have the North Adel...

Re: City Street Parking
I am not talking credit cards, I am saying prepaid cards. You charge your card with credits and they are deducted as you use them to buy parking tickets. You can charge these cards on a seperate machine or over the internet. That would still require some kind of network for validation = expensive. ...

Re: #Vision: New Inner-City Stadium
:evil: I am really, really getting tired, frustrated and sick to death of this idiot. He has gained momentum and confidence after the state government backed down over Vic Park. This is getting beyond the joke. We really need to start getting our voice out there more as a pro development group. The...

Re: Victoria Square Visions
Sink Grote St with a cut and cover underpass, instead of covering it with grass, what about covering with thick glass and have a dining area above it, so you can see the cars passing below, it doesn't even need a dining area, but make more of an 'out the square' attempt to create something differen...

Re: #Article:RAA calls for toll lanes to ease traffic congestion
Are you referring to San Fran's Embarcadero? I like what they've done there since the earthquake. Or some other one? :? Yes! The last thing I want, let alone the NIMBYs, is an awful elevated road like that one was. The waterfront redevelopment since then, as you say, is very good. I rather like San...

Re: Ideas on how to attract more people to SA?
Why limit ourselves to Asia? We should also look at the outer reaches of the Pacific and to Latin America. :wink: I have a campaign aimed at Mars. So far the only respondent has been a rock that looked a bit like a woman... ;) I guess it depends on what kinds of workers the adverts are intended to ...

Re: The Garden of Huge Potential.
Honestly, i had a ball on them. I took my two little nephews there a while back and i think i laughed more than they did.... :D One slide you sit on a tube and go down through an enclosed dark section that you can't see where it is. On the grand scale it probably is nothing, but i had fun. You had ...

Re: #Article:RAA calls for toll lanes to ease traffic congestion
These lanes would possibly be open to public transport too. As someone else mentioned, i just couldn't see the logistics of it working on south road. Its just too much of a mishy mashy road... Heh the only way they could add such a promise to South Road would be by building a trestle section above ...

Re: Adelaide Transport Woes
The subject should read the Adelaide Public Transport Woes because that is what it will become... Forget about Toll Ways and Freeways, these dam politicians and business people are making knee jerk reactions to current problems rather than thinking ahead. Oil production is expected to peek about 20...

Re: Victoria Square Visions
Ash-sv6, instead of raising the lawns, isn't it more feasible to sink the road by building an under-pass? Or if that happens, we could have an underground shopping precinct, and move the tram station down there. Probably cost inhibitive but I like that. A bit like what's under the Louvre end of the...

Re: The Garden of Huge Potential.
The Magic Mountain replacement (the Beach House) does have a couple of water slides. I think it's three? The Beachhouse is pretty much exactly the same as Magic Mountain in terms of content. Except that everything is new and working. Although the bumper cars a are bit pathetic. The size of the 'tra...

Re: City Street Parking
...While I think the best way is to retain the pay-and-display ticketing system, but we should start giving more options in paying. Such as ticketing machines that provide change or accept cards like what I proposed before. It is the easiest solution... You may think it's the easiest solution, but ...

That'd be right, vandals making things uncomfortable for everyone else. One problem with public property is you have to factor in vandalism. So annoying.Will409 wrote:The seats are rock hard to prevent seat slashing.
