Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council

ha, the usual quarterly pro car nonsense from the Sunday Mal/News Ltd in co-operation with another hideous conservative councilor - Alex Antic (whoever he is) telling us we need more cars in the city not less, otherwise the CBD will die. He must be onto something, because Adelaide CBD, the city with...

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

my family has had a place at Moonta Bay ever since I was a little kid, and everyone has a hissy fit over the intersection from the Yorkes turnoff to Highway 1 as it leads into Port Wakefield. In reality its really not that bad, however people can't accept waiting in a line of traffic for just 1 minu...

Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport

The City Connector is very good at connecting Rundle Park, to Hutt Street and Whitmore Square. Number 1 is where they usually hang out during the day, numbers 2 and 3 are where the shelters are. The old city loop didn't really connect areas that the homeless would get to. Yes the tram attracts a few...

Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport

hi, look I'm prepared to cop criticism for being elitist, but are the any other city residents or actual commuters who use the City Connector 99A/C etc. Living just off Hutt St, the idea of the connector buses is brilliant, they are sort of frequent, nice enough buses, however just one thing - I pro...

To just demand that you be given money, refuse to pay anything without giving a reason, and then call people names...well if you think that works, keep at it. Some statistical data for you sir, "This means that, for each person who cycles 20 minutes to work and back, our economy benefits by $1...

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

so should every single street in the whole of Adelaide have toll gates, going by your illogical pro petrol, user pays argument - Rubberman

I feel like I have found Adelaide Now with this pro car, anti cycling, conservative, spend entire state budget only on wide roads for cars, bullshit

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

I'd be prepared to pay for bike rego if cycling infrastructure got a greater share of road funding, however I believe cycling infrastructure receives about 1% of funding compared to road lanes in this state, so if that's the case, these anti cycling senile conservatives can go get f*$^ked when they ...

I don't have a problem with the redevelopment (ie the choice of pavers, lights, furniture etc) however everytime I walk down Rundle Mall I feel like something isn't right.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

The tram tracks haven't been built properly, probably explains the snails pace. Should have just copied the Victorian design. the snails pace is solely because of the excrutiating amount of traffic lights that give trams the last priority. Its nothing short of pathetic, considering virtually every ...

In a climate such as Adelaide, we have no business building dark brown or black buildings. The heat load from these colours in adelaides hot sunny climate means these dark, non reflective finishes should be avoided at all cost. Aesthetics? Well as they say beauty is in the eye of ....
