[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Nice summary Spotto. This is wishy washy stuff by these people, even if a magic wand was waved and all rail freight was moved out of the equation to a different route, nowhere has anyone stated what the accepted travel time will be for the public to use the proposed service. After reviewing the curr...

Re: CBD Policing & Behaviour
Correct, and thank you claybro. Further proof of this occurred last weekend, Central Districts aired a song over the PA at half time called ‘My boomerang won’t come back’ which apparently caused offence to Aboriginal folk. The story got an airing in the Murdoch papers including The Advertiser, and t...

Re: CBD Policing & Behaviour
Can you just explain what exactly is the approach you suggest so then we can assess the merits of it? My statement was ‘time for a new approach’, because what is happening currently does not work, maybe political correctness needs to take a back seat to identify and address the core causes, after a...

[U/C] Re: Brougham Place | 54m | 4 x up to 16lvls | Mixed Use
Is the 16 levels of this building taller than the 15 levels that is "too tall" for North Adelaide in O'Connell Street? I realise it's a bit further downhill so might not be as prominent when looking at the entire city. Both sites same altitude above sea level within a few metres. FYI - th...

[U/C] Re: Former LeCornu Redevelopment | Mixed Use
Overdue. If they could get the tram down here next North Adelaide will be a completely different place in a few years Yes – the planning for the tram expansion is overdue, Infrastructure SA was given this as one of their key priorities to review, maybe the Libs will announce some of I-SA review out...

Re: New City Arena
Labor have pledged to scrap this and redirect funding to health care. Got my vote on this policy alone. Priorities. Wouldn't be surprised if they do tge Memorial Drive upgrade instead. We can have better health care and a new arena without spending 3 quarters of a billion on an arena alone. So you ...

[SWP] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital
This project has to be built in the area or adjacent to the new RAH. I work in the medical field and can tell you many staff that work at one hospital likely work at another. This shorter time could easily mean saving more lives (ie. Specialised trauma surgeons going between WCH and RAH, toxicologi...

Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport Contracts, Service & Policy
At the last election campaign I wrote to both Labor and Liberal parties questioning why Saturday is a peak Fare and would they consider moving it so all the WE & PH's could be off peak Fares. Neither answered the question - one added me to their mailing list, the other didn't respond, so still a...

Re: New City Arena
The Adelaide Venue Management Corporation are the ones getting a free ride here, they want an expanded Convention Centre where they will allow people to play basketball, netball and have an occasional concert. I still prefer what I, and others, proposed previously with a long-term plan to upgrade Me...

Re: CBD Policing & Behaviour
First you must identify the issue for what it is, and what impact it is having on the immediate community, only then can a true solution be worked out. And in this instance the problem is a dynamic aboriginal homeless group with daily intoxication problems – substance abuse probably masking deeper p...

Re: 269 North Terrace | 119m | 36 Levels | Student accommodation
Sorry but I can’t accept a couple of the comments made here - anyone who says the aboriginal anti-social behaviour is not a problem on North Terrace is nonexistent are either kidding themselves, got blinkers on, or a keyboard do-gooder. This has been building momentum for the past few years, I have ...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
The problem is still more complex than people think for the Grenfell/Currie PT corridor as it is dealing with bus routes from Adelaide Hills in the southeast, Norwood, Kensington and Burnside districts in the east, Port Adelaide district in the north west in addition to the obahn buses. Even if you ...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
Working out how to best manage the sheer volume of buses using the Grenfell/Currie Streets PT corridor is always going to be a challenge, IF the one central bus lane in each direction was implemented it is still not clear how to prevent continual bus to bus blockages without bus overtaking lanes at ...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
One of the options being considered is the possibility of running Bus Lanes in the Centre of Grenfell & Currie Streets with Super Stops east of Frome St, near Gawler Pl, immediately west of KW St and potentially one immediately west of Light Square. Each Super Stop would have platforms on each ...
