Hear, hear!... or is it here, here! What you look at what actually is being done/planned, there is no comparison - even though there could be a debt issue for the taxpayer to pick up. SA - STATE ON THE MOVE On the move in reverse!!!! :hilarious: Tax debt already there and climbing, land tax up 300%...

[COM] Re: #PRO: Southern Expressway duplication | $445m | 22km

So go have a cry. What's your point? No plan or proposal will ever please everyone. Seriously it isn't that bad people. Most South Australians enjoy very high quality lifestyles, but they always find something to whinge about. Most of us have multiple options to choose from when travelling from poi...

Camaro68 - all the states IMO are more 'backward' than forward thinking looking at it from your viewpoint for several reasons - some reasons being politics, money and votes. Long range visions are needed, but if there is a government change they often are heavily changed or scrapped. LOng range com...

[COM] Re: #PRO: Southern Expressway duplication | $445m | 22km

Woo Hoo, let's fix the expressway while the rest of south road chokes, another brilliant idea by the SA conservative, bandaid fix aficionados. This state is a joke. :wallbash: That's an ignorant statement, camaro68. The reason the expressway is being doubled now is because the Feds have put forward...

[COM] Re: Southern Expressway to be doubled

"So lets put you in charge. You have numbers that to fix all of South Road will cost X billion dollars. You then get offered half a billion dollars to upgrade part of it now, limited time offer. Do you turn that money down? Is it worth that amount of money to get your pet section of road upgrad...

Me thinks it would be better to spent the proposed money for doubling the Southern Expressway and the elevated freeway at Regency park ($1.3 Billion) on improving the portion of south road in between Darlington & Regency Park. :2cents: Or are we hoping that further tram extensions will fix this...

Re: The Great Roads Debate

Indeed. :applause: For better or worse, South Road will never be the freeway some people want it to be. The chance for that has been and gone decades ago.
