[APP] Re: 9 - 11 Byron Place | 50m | 15 Levels | Apartments

I can't think of any buildings taller than this that have been built down a tiny side street like Byron. Good to see!!

Re: Beer Garden

Interesting read, agree with most of it aswell. Particularly the part about making better use of our city squares and making the Torrens swim able.

Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development

Yes! But the top needs to be different, need something unique that stands out, not just square like all the others

[VIS] Flinders Skyway | $13m

I agree, however I don't think this has a much of a disconnect to the streets as your suggesting, you would still get streams of people, only in this situation they would be steaming down stairs from the elevated stations onto the street. I also think it would be quite cool seeing the elevated carri...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Doubt it will happen, but as far as a few dots on a map, it looks pretty perfect to me. Would do a lot to the areas around the lines. And I think it would encourage a hell of a lot more people going to the city

Re: [PRO] Glenelg Jetty Hotel and Marine Research Centre | $

If this was to go ahead, I would assume it would be a lot stronger than your average jetty. I don't think it would be too difficult to build it strong enough to withstand a storm much stronger than today, they could also just raise the jetty a little higher

Re: News & Discussion: Transport Projects

Exactly my point, having heavy rail means you have an ugly 15 meter waste land strip running through the suburbs, with fences up either side. And yes you can't have them running down the middle of streets

Re: News & Discussion: Transport Projects

Sure, if we could have an under ground heavy railway system that would be great. Sadly that's not an option. And the fact is heavy rail in Adelaide is ugly as fuck. Clay put it well, light rail is much easier on the eye, all you need is a few tracks in the road, you hardly notice it. Can't say the s...

Re: News & Discussion: Transport Projects

Couldn't agree more with clay, light rail going through suburbs actually makes the area attractive, heavy rail is ugly and unappealing. To me light rail is a no brainer. No one wants to be swapping between heavy and light rail
