Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD
New multi-level childcare centre to go between the train line and Second St, bordering Park Tce. Ground floor leased to EFM health clubs, plus "two other businesses" (council development application says one will be a laundromat). Not sold on the design. The street level and even level one have a ba...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Name a single public transport project that got delivered in the 1970s anywhere in the world. I can think of a few: San Francisco opened the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) in 1972 Munich, for the Olympics they delivered a big suburban rail renewal and expansion by 1972. London Underground extended t...

[PRO] Re: Ovingham Level Crossing Removal | $231m
Renown Park (and the older bits of Brompton/Bowden/Ovingham that front Torrens Rd) is filled with hipsters and “yuppy wankers” now? [emoji849]

Re: News & Discussion: Laneway & Streetscape Projects
I think it's time to close Bank Street to cars. It's feeling a bit dingy. I don't know whether the council has cut cleaning shifts, but the entire city has been rather dingy for the last few months. There's far more litter about than usual, both because there's not enough bins (in the right places)...

[U/C] Re: SkyCity Adelaide Casino Expansion | 55m | 12 Levels | Hotel
I guess the idea is they're trying to soften the harsher geometry of the Festival Centre and the future office tower with a more organic pattern. Architects designing the new plaza probably took one look at the old design and the Hajek sculptures and went "heck no!" Will have to wait and see how it...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail
I hope they can book a better class of advertising for the entrance of our premier retail district. At the moment it's rotating between government PSAs, and a suburban chicken and chip shop (seriously).

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council
It was voted down, but for very much the wrong reasons. It's laughable that the ones that voted it down, were the ones that pushed for the compromised dog leg in the first place. Their interest isn't in doing it right, it's in fucking with the project enough that it ends up never happening. The stat...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council
Disappointingly the bicycle interest groups are encouraging members to offer vocal support for the proposal (the fatally compromised design they've come up with isn't even guaranteed to pass at council). What a terrible precedent to establish, as if ACC wasn't already beholden to on street car park...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council
So council is pressing ahead with the bike lane dogleg route, and I was correct that it's to avoid pissing off someone, namely a bunch of law firms on Flinders St who threatened to sue the council if they lost street parking spaces outside their properties. The council needs to grow a backbone and t...

I'm not sold on the paving. It's in that weird middle ground where it's trying to reference the Festival Centre geometry, but it's neither adhering to it close enough nor clearly differentiating itself (organic hexagon pattern vs strictly geometric octagon pattern).

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands
I didn't mind that it was a bit harder to "pop in for drinks", since that wasn't the focus (unlike the previous VicSq version). I think the programming was excellent, but perhaps that's because I'm on a similar wavelength to the kind of shows David Sefton likes to curate. I only went to one show on ...
