Any guess as to where the Bellevue Heights and Morphettville/Glenelg sites would be?New Park ‘n’ Rides for Noarlunga and Smithfield
The two new Park ‘n’ Ride car park facilities at Smithfield and Noarlunga officially opened today.
The Park ‘n’ Ride at Seaman Road, Noarlunga has been expanded from 100 to 245 spaces to meet growing demand for parking at the Noarlunga interchange, and features CCTV facilities, high-quality lighting and disability standard compliance for public transport.
A second Park ‘n’ Ride located next to Smithfield Station at the end of Station Street, Munno Para provides parking for around 190 cars, including disabled spaces, to meet user demand. The new facility will increase the parking available surrounding Smithfield Station from approximately 248 to 438 spaces.
The new facilities at Noarlunga and Smithfield follow last month’s announcement to build a new Park ‘n’ Ride at Parafield Airport for at least 400 cars, due for completion in late 2015.
The new facilities are part of the State Government’s work to increase Park 'n' Ride spaces for commuters; there are now more than 11,000 spaces, compared to 6,100 in 2002.
There are 72 Park 'n' Ride locations, and the State Government is also doing preliminary scoping works for further Park ‘n’ Ride facilities at seven other sites including Golden Grove, West Lakes, Tambelin, Bellevue Heights, Crafers, Wayville and Morphettville/Glenelg sites.
Manson Avenue (with a new train station on the passing loop) and the racecourse car park seem the most sensible locations.muzzamo wrote:Any guess as to where the Bellevue Heights and Morphettville/Glenelg sites would be?

Its this sort of thing that really illustrates how "hard" it is to satisfy community demands, first of all you have some locals saying "we want our train station back!" despite the fact that previous patronage was low and there is a regular bus service within a 10 minute walk......Now the station is nearly up and running and there is a privacy issue (fair enough) but also concerns about commuters parking in the local streets.Give us our privacy back, pleads a track-side resident near Millswood Station

A MILLSWOOD woman says her family’s privacy has been seriously compromised following an upgrade of Millswood station.
The Transport Department cleared shrubs which formed a barrier between Georgia Loudon’s Varden St house and the Millswood station platform.
The shrubs were removed during a $500,000 upgrade of the station ahead of a 12-month trial reopening from next month.
Commuters on the platform can now see into Ms Loudon’s front yard and lounge room windows.
She called on the department to replant mature plants to ensure her family’s privacy.
“It’s disgusting,” Ms Loudon says.
“I don’t want to be that person to complain, but no one told us what the station was going to end up like.”
She did not want to install curtains or blinds or a new fence.
“We wouldn’t replace the fence because we’ve just spent thousands on a new one in the past 18 months,” she said.
“And we’ve never had to have curtains or shutters and to put them in now would totally close off our living area.”
Transport Department spokeswoman Melissa Martin said a screen would be installed but refused to say whether it would happen before the trail started.
She would not say what materials would be used.
Other Millswood residents have raised concerns with the station’s upgraded lighting and potential parking issues.
Avenue St resident Barbara Giles wanted new lights dimmed to reduce the impact on neighbours.
The department said the upgraded lighting was necessary to meet disability requirements, but might be adjusted when the station opened.
Another Avenue St resident, Wally Szachnowicz, was concerned drivers would use his street as an all-day carpark.
Unley Council chief executive Peter Tsokas said staff would monitor parking during the trial.
“This review will provide guidance on the need, type and extent of parking management measures that may be required,” Mr Tsokas said.
The State Government will record patronage at the station during the 12-month trial before deciding whether to permanently reopen it.
