Re: Incomplete roads

Cross Keys Rd. Starts at the Intersection of Port Wakefield and Montague, ends at Park Tce, Salisbury. The two ends separated by about 4.5km of Mawson Lakes and Parafield Airport. I'm not sure about the history of the road, but it looks like it may have once connected or was planned to connect all t...

You know, it's a shame they couldn't have made a new entrance to the carpark coming off the lane, rather than maintaining the one straight off Frome St.
At least the city council haven't put a pedestrian crossing over this carpark driveway.. yet. :roll:

Re: 27-31 Angas Street | 103m | 30 lvls | Kodo Apartments

Hard to believe it has taken almost 30 years for Adelaide to get a new building up over the 100m mark. Keen to watch this one going up, as well as the construction of Adelaidian as the new tallest, even if it is only by 3m, hopefully more will follow :banana:

[COM] Re: Torrens Junction Underpass

For Adelaide's first transit oriented development, the new Bowden station looks very basic.. :roll:

Just to compare. This is what outer sprawlburbia gets with no houses built yet..

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Central Markets

They should have just allowed U-turns at the Pitt St intersection and saved a few $$, just put a sign in the median that says carpark access via U-turn with an arrow to illustrate for the simpletons.

My guess is it's probably just Zara relocating from Burnside to the CBD.
