Correct.

up until last night, had anyone else also not noticed a new burger bar - 'Fancy burgers' open up at the end of Synagogue Place (off Rundle St), at the base of the student tower. Quite a cool shop fit out with its outside booths, and a nice burger too

Yeah, it's been there for a month or so. Fancy Burger have had a store up in Blackwood for a couple years too. Good to have them in the East End, along with Burger Theory who'll be opening up on Union St soon enough.

I think the next one to go is Hindley street in July and UNISA to change with it, unless I've missed something and it is not going through. But obviously it is a much bigger project.

Definitely go for July.

Walking past Rundle Place yesterday, the laneways either side have extendable awnings and fold out doors for cafes. Hopefully this will be a new must visit cafe precinct.

^^ I hope one day they pull down the parking station and extend Lindes Lane through to Grenfell St and with that ugly carpark gone there would be space for a new building as well. :D

Apparently another 'parklet' similar to the $1m State Govt overhaul of Bank St, has appeared in Gawler Place. Anyone seen it yet?

It's just the parklette, there's been no associated redevelopment of Gawler Place. Someone (the health food shop I suspect) seems to be in charge of putting tables out during the day. At night it's just left as a bench. There's a sign saying that anyone can use it.

Saw it today. It's quite a nice one, to be honest. Very much along the lines of what you see in San Francisco.

It was financed out of the shop owners own pocket (about 20K I believe) with design help from the ACC to comply with OH&S and parking issues. First one off the ranks with many more to come. If you walk past pop in and say how awesome it is, it will be greatly appreciated I'm sure.

Hindley Street development details coming at the council meeting today.

EDIT: It also contains Regent Street North streetscape concept(at the end) including allowance for a future tram route.

It would be fantastic if Hindley street could be done like that for its entire length, and Rundle Street as well for that matter. The recent works on Rundle did FA to improve the precinct, Rundle Street really should have been made one-way for road traffic to provide extra footpath and outdoor dining space.

I agree completely.
