So can anybody estimate when the footpath will be returned to the Public? Will it be when the crane is removed or will it be when the Building is fully finished?

Re: Whats happening at Port Adelaide railway station?

Such a shame they had to destroy that station in the 60s, The station use to have longer platforms and a large roof over the platforms and tracks, That area under the station was part of the station buildings hence why you have those "fancy iron poles there.

Re: Just how fast is Dubai growing?

Re: Glenelg Tram Line Upgrade

Question for you guys. Why are the tram tracks still wide apart when crossing Grote St? I understand that the platform stop will be just south of Grote street, but why don't the tracks start to close in after the stop, like along King W st? I guess they will keep this width around the square? This ...

Re: Glenelg Tram Line Upgrade

Hmmmm, im not so sure about those overhead masts. They look awfully dominating. If theyre in the middle, why did so many trees have to be taken down? There used to trees along the median strip of North Terrace before they took them out. As far as I am aware they also took out a few trees along the ...
