Re: Parkland control change in the wind
If we build a soccer stadium (what with the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup that we want to bid for), we'll be able to host International Games and friendlies and this will attract people to come and see the soccer matches. If we then have big matches like that occassionally, people will want to come ...

Re: Solving the Britannia Roundabout Mess
here's my solution, A BETTER DRIVER EDUCATION PROGRAM for people getting there license. Their... ;) Indeed. I don't see what's so scary or hard about the Britannia Roundabout itself. The scary thing is all the fuckwit drivers in Adelaide who don't know how to use roundabouts! I like roundabouts. Ha...

Re: Article: City Tram Track To Grow
There is no U in Harbour in South Australian place names - it's Victor Harbor, Outer Harbor. It's because back in the colonial days, the government maps were made by an American company. I know, it's annoying isn't it? Like how Labor spell their name without the U. :roll: Ignorant swine :lol: (I'm ...

Re: Electrification and Resleepering of TransAdelaide Network
Park-and-ride: ... I've often thought that having several large car parks on the outskirts of the CBD, on the major feed routes into the CBD, with efficient, regular and convenient people movers (monorails! :wink: ) into the CBD would be an idea. But then I thought of the magnificent bottle necks i...

Re: Adelaide Transport Woes
Might I also say that if Dunstan had carried out the MATS Plan when it was proposed, we wouldn't have the portush Road traffic problem and nor would we have the South Road problem. But no, that generation of South Australians - like this generation of South Australians only focus on here and now an...

Re: Parkland control change in the wind
The Liberals will NEVER sell off another public asset. Never ever? Seriously that's some claim. ;) The problem with Hamilton-Smith's speech was that it was all dreams and aspirations that were designed to strike emotionally with people. No real substance or actual plan or vision at all. People list...

Re: Article: City Tram Track To Grow
pretty everything in that long description was right i reckon. I still believe that the outer harbor/grange lines should be converted to light rail, with a possible extension to aami stadium and west lakes, and a 5 min interval as you described. We would then have 3 "world class" transpor...

Re: Article: City Tram Track To Grow
Wha? :shock: Trains cheaper than trams? Surely you meant the other way round? In fact the lower capital cost is one of the attractions of light rail such as the Glenelg line (and one of the reasons it was converted from train to tram in the late nineteen twenties). However, I am happy to be proven ...

Re: Article: City Tram Track To Grow
ALSO, if we need to add more trams to the glenelg line now (because apparently it's so popular... Why not have the new trams and the old 'heritage' trams running at the same time? can we not increase the number of trams and reduce waiting time? or is there no need for this or is it not practical fo...

Re: Solving the Britannia Roundabout Mess
Split Wakefield Road in two at about the exit of the circuit chicane with one road heading northeast to Angas Street, Kent Town to form a crossroad with Dequetteville Terrace, the other heading southeast to Grant Avenue, Rose Park to form a junction with Fullarton Road. This last piece of road can ...

Re: SouthBank- Torrens
Wet blanket time: There exists a fault line somewhere beneath the first weir that means having a lower Torrens Lake is not possible. The possibility was looked into in the past and the fault discovered. Having said that, further community development of the Torrens Lake area is a good thing. We've t...

Re: Solving the Britannia Roundabout Mess
I remember back one million years ago when I was in junior High School the State Government (I think it was) held a competition in schools. The kids had to develop an idea that would fix the Britannia Roundabout. I guess even back then no one in office had any bright ideas. School kids, the ultimate...
