Re: #PRO: Port Adelaide Tram | #COM: Entertainment Centre Tr

In all honesty, I believe taking the tramline straight to the Outer Harbor line is just laziness. It would be better to take it straight down the middle of Port Road. Come on SA, use some imagination. Also, yes, raising the tramline if it is to be connected just around the corner from its current te...

Re: #U/C: Northern Expressway | 22km

Nearmap imagery has been updated (taken on June 14). Indeed, NExy looks to be more or less complete for about 90% of its length, but sadly we are unable to see beyond the Gawler River.

Re: #UC: Noarlunga - Seaford rail extension

If the Seaford extension proves successful geographically and economically, then the next step should be conversion of the O-Bahn to rail. This can then be connected to Adelaide Railway Station via an underground link.

[COM] Re: South Road Upgrades | PRO: South Road Superway

Speaking of how it'd be marked in a street directory, wouldn't it be represented as a freeway/expressway (dual green lines for most versions)?

[COM] Re: #PRO: New Royal Adelaide Hospital | $1.7b

But how much idea do you have? What was the net loss from the State Bank? What are you driving at, Aidan? The Bannon government's initial bailout alone was $970M - adjusted for inflation that's about $1.5B at present value. Ultimately the state was guarantor for debts that totalled about $7B and dr...

[COM] #PRO: Northern Connector | 14km

DTEI has put up the proposed layout of the Northern Connector on the website. http://www.infrastructure.sa.gov.au/northern_connector It can be viewed by downloading the brochure (on the right-hand side of the page). I'm liking the 'big city thinking' with a more proper approach to planning interchan...

I've yet to spend a ' long ' time in Brisbane.

Re: State Election 2010

Usually the bookies are the best poll of them all. The polls that have been conducted for this state election have been quite small, whereby the margin for statistical error is highest. On the other hand, with the bookies, since people are dealing with their own money, they tend to reflect people's...

[COM] Re: South Road Upgrade

recently I took a trip the full length of Sth Rd and found 5 sets of lights around Castle Plaza/Hills area and wondered about the effect they would have on the overall flow - esp with AnZac underpass and the northern expressway included. The road seems narrow and a certain place for bottlenecks and...

[COM] Re: South Road Upgrade

I'm not sure if this website has been posted on the Infrastructure/Transport Development Board previously, but it's more recent than the satellite imagery on Google Earth.

http://www.nearmap.com

It also shows the Northern Expressway as of 29 October.
