[COM] Re: Goodwood/Springbank/Daws Road Intersection
The former Mitre 10 near the corner of Goodwood/Angas Road has been vacant for at least a few months or more. But Peter Van would probably have to see if they can only lease half of the space as it's not quite double the size of their current site. The Daws/South Road site Peter Van mave mentioned p...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
In the AdeLINK plan, the North Adelaide tram is extended through the suburbs to Grand Junction Road. The problem is that it will involve street running and if they choose narrow roads, then the tram will get caught in traffic. There is no benefit to this tram route over a bus route. In the AdeLINK ...

[COM] Re: Goodwood/Springbank/Daws Road Intersection
I'm curious about why a party goods store needs a $70,000 computer system, and why it's apparently hardwired to the building. I think with their new warehouse and other expansion plans as quoted in the article, Peter Van were hoping to make themselves too important to uproot once the intersection u...

[COM] Re: Goodwood/Springbank/Daws Road Intersection
The loss of Peter Van is a shame, always useful to pop in for party supplies. But in the internet age, they might not have lasted for much longer. Who knows? But, that petrol station was vacant land for YEARS until only a couple years ago. I'd love to know whose bright spark idea it was to rebuild i...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Federal government is putting $85.5 million towards the Brighton Road (Hove) level crossing upgrade. It's hard to believe that they wouldn't include a station as well. If they are, can they please just copy-paste the station design for Oaklands? 1. Consistent design across stations. 2. No doubt it ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
... I wouldn't be surprised if the airport corporation is quietly doing everything they possibly can to make sure the Globelink plan is umm, permanently grounded. Adelaide Airport Limited seems to be owned by a bunch of superannuation and investment companies. If the state government decides there ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
With talk of grade seperation at Westbourne Park, should Hawthorn be reopened in exchange for closing Unley Park? It'd be a good opportunity to move Unley Park station north of crossroad, where the larger population lives (in comparison to Hawthorn which it's in). It would also then be in the subur...

Looks like the building will officially be called the Australian Bragg Centre ABC (for Proton therapy and research) sorry for the thread bump, here's some pics of signage :) I don't know about you guys but since there's already an ABC building, that calling this the SAHMRI 2 will be the more common...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Buses
Never noticed this before because I’m rarely on North Terrace at night, but last week Monday night I noticed the 174 bus to Paradise do a hook turn at the KWS/North Tce intersection turning right onto North Tce. It makes sense with the tram tracks there, but it’s an odd thing for Adelaide. Are there...

Re: Commonwealth Games in Adelaide
If the Commonwealth Games do end up coming to Adelaide at some point (hopefully not soon), if planned correctly, this could be the opportunity to complete or at least set into motion our pending public transport and road projects. Adelaide will need them if we plan on hosting, and they will definite...

[U/C] Re: North-South Motorway
Longtime lurker, first time poster. Here we go! Update: drove through the waterloo corner intersection today and the stickers covering the signs are coming off just enough to read that the northern connector is sign posted as north south motorway. Makes sense since the North-South Motorway is the ne...
