[COM] Re: #PRO: Northern Connector | 14km

Another thing I've noticed - removal of access to the Northern Expressway from Pt Wakefield Rd northbound. Bugger! I don't think that Pt Wakefield access to the northern connector was planned even under the original proposal. I even wrote in wondering if it was a mistake but never heard back. Just ...

[COM] Re: South Rd Upgrades - News & construction ONLY | U/C: Supe

So much speculation... I won't buy a computer mouse without weighing up the cost vs benefits of at least half a dozen different options. Are we actually suggesting that the Government jumped on the $850million option without giving some other options at least a sideward glance? I'm assuming there wa...

Wow! Thanks for the incredible photos. As someone who works in the medical industry it is exciting to imagine what this building represents as far as medical research and advancement is concerned. It is my dream to see SAHMRI become a research powerhouse like the Queensland Institute. It's great to ...

Re: SA rural roads reduced to 100kph

As an emergency worker, there was not a single motor vehicle accident I went to where speed was the deciding factor. It was usually alcohol, inattention, fatigue, hooning (deliberate loss of traction more than the speed component) or sudden braking. Less commonly was road conditions, ie, animals, po...

Talking of surprises... have a look at the shape of the new $200 million Health and Medical Research facility from above. Does it remind you of anything? Between you and me... I think the designers are having a quiet laugh. Yes I noticed it a while ago... perhaps it should be blue? http://i.bnet.co...

Re: #UC: 5 lvl Car Park & Pedestrian Plaza - Adelaide Airpor

I'd hazard a guess that a part of the reason for the design is such that it allows the construction to go up next to the existing carpark to minimise reduction of already too few carparks during the build process. Once the new carpark is commissioned I'd imagine the old carpark will be torn up and t...

Do you think they were taking the piss designing it like a large viagra tablet?
I'm kidding, I am pumped for what I thought from day one was an outstanding design.

[COM] Re: Adelaide Convention Centre and Riverbank Redevelopment

I'm not saying this design is a bad one. It's quite ok. But I guess I am hoping for a real KAPOW legacy for Adelaide. The river precinct is arguably one of the most important redevelopments to get right I think. It needs something fairly spectacular that has people in other states saying 'hey you kn...

Good to see the plans for the new hospital. All I can say is kudos for some of the design concepts. I have a couple of concerns but mostly I see the designs as quite good. The duplication of the radiology services to include inpatient and outpatient is a great idea. Assuming we've the staff to staff...

I think from the rumours floating around our circles and seems to be enforced on the ward plans is that the hospital will be designed to be modular so that extensions are easilly added at a later time, something I was saying needed to be done about emergency departments for the past five years.
