got an email yesterday from the metrocard team at the DPTO Hello Metrocard Champions, New Adelaide Railway Station barrier gate installation update! Fourteen out of the twenty-six NEW metrocard barrier gates will be operational from next week an attached PDF shows that the new gates do validate you...

I refuse to contribute to this thread anymore because Aidan trolls big-time.

In order to create a non-stop 'South Road' that they will need to build a tunnel somewhere along the route and this will have to be tolled. Road tunnels these days cost somewhere in the magnitude of $600m per kilometre of twin bored tunnels. It's no cheap exercise and the Government and/or private i...

mcardlej, waewick,

I have a MetroCard and will be raising this issue at the next forum.

When the ACC says that they want to relocate the two restaurants and kiosks elsewhere in the mall, I presume they mean for them to occupy a building/tenancy just like everyone else? I think they'll find the rents and costs a bit more expensive in a shared building (strata, maintenance, etc) as oppos...

Thanks for the link PAF. That was quite a nifty little video.

I agree, it may look a little tacky, but I think it is needed. Glenelg sorely needs something else to draw people to the area and provide further entertainment options for tourists and locals, and this is just one of many ways of achieving that. Not a fan of the preferred Hawaiian theme though, we s...

I don't get it? Are they actually closing the street off to cars now?

Thanks Will.

Mr Hines certainly is making his mark on the Hindmarsh Square precinct. Let's hope his next apartment tower project is a biggie like 123 Flinders!

Isn't Hines behind the 108m Flinders Street apartment tower project?

Better the bridge to be too wide than too narrow. It's practically an OHSW issue - if ever the need arises for patrons to evacuate Adelaide Oval and or the Riverbank, the bridge provides a convinient ease of access to trasnport tens of thousands of people across to safety as fast and as quickly as p...

No idea. Just sent an email to the Health gurus just then for you Ben, I'll let you know when I get a response. All I know is that there are six cranes for the project. I had a look on nearmap two days ago sussing out if any bases had appeared on site - unfortunately none just yet, but it should be ...

Even monorail cat thinks monorail idea is stupid.

Further to the above, some local talent have come up with a pitch for a new way of looking at SA. I love the idea of "Look Closer", as it encapsulates everything we here know be true -- that things are happening, you just may not have heard. Here's the campaign: ccuyci8QOVw And the pitch:...
