Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Commit to electrifying Outer Harbor now. We should also be aiming to convert the bus fleet to fully electric by 2030 - aside our emissions reduction goals, just imagine how much more pleasant city streets will be without noisy and noxious diesel buses. I’m very curious on how they would electrify t...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

See lots of complaints, but as someone who wants to install solar in the next few years it honestly doesn't seem like a terrible idea. Supply and demand is a thing, and if there's an over-supply of power being fed into the grid where is it meant to go? It should be going into a state owned pumped h...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

I suspect the ARTC line to Virginia and Two Wells is busy enough that a suburban service on the same single track would not work without duplicating it, so the question then is whether the operational efficiencies of having separate up and down tracks exceeds the separation benefits of laying a sep...

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

The left turn lane from Torrens road onto Fitzroy terrace needs to be greatly extended It looks as long as it can be. Do the lights at the end turn red while Park Terrace traffic has green, or only while pedestrians are crossing the slip lane? There's not enough length to get my truck up to a safe ...

Re: Adelaide Oval Expansion

The hill and scoreboard is what makes Adelaide Oval unique. Replace it with a stand and you have a bog standard cookie cutter stadium. The hill and scoreboard weren't why we lost the GF. The current 50% capacity, as opposed to Optus Stadium being at 100% capacity, was the reason we're not getting t...

cleaning up the Torrens(and the Patawalonga foir that matter..) should be a no brainer.. Even if they don't allow swimming, it should still be clean enough to swim in

They're changing the lines on the road from white to yellow now You'd think they would have done these trials on a bit of test road nearby while the thing was being built. But hey, South Australia..lets just be happy that something gets built at all :lol: Which bits of three-lane road would you hav...
