[U/C] Re: WEST (Football Park) | Developments & News

Definitely no space there to host football games now with the stands and car parking long gone. I am pretty sure the land next to the Mosaic is just used as a car park at the moment so would be good to see something built there. But then again, that poses the issue of that whole precinct not having...

[U/C] Re: WEST (Football Park) | Developments & News

So presumably the Crows depart from West Lakes, their current building is demolished and a new SANFL facility is built in its place? I didn't dive too deep into the supporting documents, does the SANFL propose that games would be hosted at West Lakes? I didn't see any mention of what will happen to...

Re: Sir Donald Bradman Drv / Marion Rd Upgrade

speaking of this road...the bridge over the railway line at Mile End is sagging in several areas looks like its about to fall down...hopefully it isn't, but it looks dilapidated Have noticed this when driving over it, I’m the bridge would easily be 50 years old? I’m not sure the cost would be but m...

Re: News & Developments: Henley Beach & Grange

They were going to build a pipeline under the sand to pump said sand along the coastline to where it's needed. What happened to that? How well would that have worked? Was there going to be some sort of system developed that monitors the volume of sand per beach before it kicked in and started pumpi...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

So by that logic are all two lane tunnels inherently unsafe? pretty much, both lanes are hard up against a concrete wall. there's nowhere to go in an accident apart from potentially bouncing off the sides and skidding into the path of vehicles directly behind. once there's broken cars and debris al...

[U/C] Re: News & Discussion: South Road / North-South Corridor

The last house in the Darlington/Bedford Park section is now being demolished. I have built an emotional connection with that house; I watched as it stood tall whilst it's neighbours were being torn down, I watched as its owners moved their possessions out, and now I will watch as it's torn to the ...

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

But I know what's going on here, with all the random accounts that have barely any posts. :wink: What exactly do you think is going on? Sure, this topic has brought a few low posters out of the woodwork, but I've not seen anyone who has just joined. Like me they probably just lurk here and only pos...

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

Wow another random account comes back to life. Clearly what I quoted is from the article. They were on the road taking up a large part of the lane, hence why a vehicle has to go onto the wrong side of the road to over take them. You know in keeping with the 1m law. That's what others who were in th...

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

Will some of you listen now to what I'm saying? “We had seen a group of bikes in the left lane and I was a bit worried about them because a four-wheel drive had to come into our lane onto oncoming traffic at 100km/h to get around them, that’s how far out on the road they were ,” she said. http://ww...

[U/C] Re: News & Discussion: South Road / North-South Corridor

Presumably they own sites which aren't currently active fuel stations - for example, I'm pretty sure 1 Goodwood Road in Wayville (the Healthscope Pathology building) is owned by BP. Would be interesting to know which site it is though... You might be right, but from what I've seen the BP deal was f...

[U/C] Re: News & Discussion: South Road / North-South Corridor

It was negotiated as an overall deal/buy out for all the BP sites (16) and Mobil sites (29). The BP sites which were run by head office (and even Mobil) wanted a complete buy out. Why would they sell up to be left with one site? They sold all there sites here anyway because they thought they didn't...

[U/C] Re: News & Discussion: South Road / North-South Corridor

To be fair, January is when they purchased the rest of the non-OTR BP sites as far as I can remember. So it wasn't just the one store. But I don't believe it was an existing BP store. I could be mistaken, but I don't believe there are any petrol stations being acquired. (There is a Repco service ce...

[U/C] Re: News & Discussion: South Road / North-South Corridor

I wonder if the Darlington Upgrade Project could result in a number of houses/buildings demolished... If you look at the plan you will see there is quite extensive property acquisition involved, in particular on the eastern side. That whole stretch where Yum Sing Express was, between Sturt and Ayli...

[U/C] Re: News & Discussion: South Road / North-South Corridor

So a previous plan was to keep things "at grade" with traffic lights/intersections for a certain cost, and the new plan is to lower south road in that section, for the same cost as the plan from 5 years ago? :sly: The "plan from 5 years ago" was only ever just a plan and was nev...
