[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
Port Adelaide on any given day is practically a ghost town and its not a PT pivot point either unlike the CBD. There's simply no comparison to be made. In my opinion Port Adelaide arguably represents one of the state's best opportunities in the near-term for both a commercial hub outside of the CBD...

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
But arguably pretty important given the gradual shift of the 'centre' of Port from Commercial Road to the waterfront area. Many people argue that Adelaide Railway Station is poorly located on the edge of the city, the same applies here but on a smaller scale. I think in 20 years it will seem perfect...

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
Why does it need to be built so tall? :wallbash: How tall are the people catching this train? If they had constructed it shorter and longer, with enclosed sides, it might actually do what a shelter is supposed to do, and shelter people from the weather. At this height, it won't even block the rain ...

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
oh boy, I think you should stick to PT if you cant handle speed limit changes and planes flying over Interestingly, one of the main arguments which comes up nearly every time a council wants to reduce a speed limit (i.e. the introduction of 40km/h zones) is that "it's confusing for drivers to ...

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
I can't disagree but I've always thought it was weird to have this random short stretch of 80 km/h road stuck essentially in the middle of suburbia. It doesn't really service any particular purpose and, from my experience, it just tends to confuse metropolitan-based drivers who rarely have to encoun...

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
I've always thought it's dodgy having unsignalled entrances/exits to Harbour Town on an 80km/h road. It's very difficult to pull out safely here when traffic is heavy and I've seen people taken unnecessary risks on many an occasion. It's a 2km stretch with a number of turn offs/intersections (and li...

[U/C] Re: Port Adelaide Dock Spur Line
I really don't get this - what is the justification for saving a relatively small amount of money in terms of the overall project costing by not putting in a shelter that is significantly bigger than the one that's there? It looks very similar in size to the one at the recently-rebuilt Croydon Stati...

Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments
doesn't look rundown to me I guess the topless part was what offended you Why do you assume I'm offended by it? I've been in there a handful of times, not to the topless section as it's not my cup of tea - but I have absolutely no problem with it existing. The front bar area was OK at best, but in ...

Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments
Another pub (albeit not a great one) bites the dust to be turned into offices and "a cafe or restaurant or something like that". Still, hopefully the historic facade will be restored - the current building isn't particularly inspiring. Land of Promise acquired by developers looking to retu...

[U/C] Re: Adelaide Botanic High School | Frome Road
A few pics from today. It looks to be externally pretty much complete with the temporary site buildings and associated infrastructure being removed. The roof space looks interesting - there's a big net being erected so I presume there's enough room up there for ball games. https://i.imgur.com/PZwZkI...

Re: Cycling lane from Brighton to Largs Bay along the coast
It's hard to see where there would be the space though. Building on or even disturbing the dunes is a big no-no.
I'd like to start with the basics and see a decent continuous shared pathway along this route.

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...
