Good news, this will look great from Rundle Park.

Hmm, I can think of a very easy way to save $15bn in funding.

Scrap the N-S Motorway.
Politically this would be suicide as they have gone too deep into the project to axe it now.

[PRO] Re: 237 Grote Street | 95m | 27 Levels x 5 | Hotel and Apartments

It's a hugely ambitious development in an area that doesn't offer a lot except the nearby schools. It also doesn't really fit in to the local area of very much low rise buildings. I wish them all the best though and hope to see it go ahead.

[U/C] Re: Ovingham Level Crossing Removal | $231m

Elder Smith Rd bridge was clearly designed to be upgraded to 4 lanes. The earthworks are already 4 lanes wide. So why was it built as a one lane road? Earthworks are just soil, unless they're actually serving their intended purpose. The same reason the Southern Expressway was built only one-way... ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Is there expected to be a new timetable in place soon now that all services are electric along the Gawler line? Yes, once all the active crossings have been turned on, because trains still have to crawl through those at 25km/h. Apparently this will be done by the end of the year. I really don't kno...

image_2023-08-06_122419421.png I wonder what the viewing distances would be at Adelaide Oval? I don't think we need to build a permanent 40,000+ seat rectangular stadium. It should be possible to build a 20,000~ capacity rectangular stadium, in a more suitable location then Hindmarsh, that can have...

Re: News & Developments: Port Adelaide

I doubt it's the new demands. Builders today still struggle for labour to build the houses, which is not helping their books after the huge lack of materials experienced over the last 3 years. It will take a while for the industry to get back to somewhat normal conditions.

Re: Thebarton Brewery Site Redevelopment

A small tram depot on the site would help the tram system in being able to manage the fleet, especially during partial closures of various parts of the line. It will also remove a lot of dead running around the system and allow the Botanic Line to have earlier services. Hopefully this development wi...

Re: Sir Donald Bradman Drv / Marion Rd Upgrade

SDB on the whole needs a refresh, it's embarrassing as Adelaide's main gateway from the city to the CBD when it's home to auto wreckers, car parks, run down blocks of flats, and run down houses with unkept gardens and vehicles out the front (I live in the area and see it every day). Reimagine it as...

Re: M1 South-Eastern Freeway

South-eastern freeway is an existing freeway. How awful to think SE Freeway would aspire to be like the inferior North-South Motorway. In what way is it inferior? Speed limit. Only in the urban sections. North of The Port River Expressway the speed limit is 110km/h. When I was making a comparison t...
