Re: News & Discussion: Trams
Adelaide Metro is designed to transport people in the morning peak from 8 am to 9 am and the afternoon peak from 5 pm to 6 pm. This means Adelaide Metro hires drivers for two shifts and they have excess capacity in the middle of the day. If we want to introduce free fares, the first place to introd...

[U/C] Re: Victoria Tower - 36 Grote Street | 123m | 35 levels | apartments
As I’ve said previously, if a western tram loop connecting RAH with Victoria Square (only 2-2.5km long) came to fruition, this part of town would go absolutely nuts with apartment and hotel towers.

Great news! This tower and Central Market will transform this part of the city. I think the first of many new towers in this area over the next decade.

[U/C] Re: Central Market Arcade Redevelopment | 130m | 39 levels
If there is ever going to be an underground train station in the Victoria Square precinct, it’ll be located directly under Victoria Square. Why? Because they can then dig a cut and cover hole for the station and platforms, rather than creating a bored tunnel station which are horrendously expensive ...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
Why can’t they just have a two-track tram with the tram lane also a normal traffic lane on the North Adelaide section of the route? Like what they used to have on King William St South? Like Jetty Rd Glenelg now? That way, no loss of traffic lanes or parking. No one loses anything. I know the tram w...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
Wild idea, but what would people think of a compromise where we can have dual tram lanes on O'Connell Street, that yes, would reduce it to one lane in each direction for traffic - but if LeFevre Terrace was duplicated and Main North Road redirected into LeFevre Terrace and then the road realigned t...

[VIS] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital
No mention of it yet, but I’d be pretty surprised if they didn’t build a new tram stop at the intersection with Gaol Rd. Better still, also build a new train station (relocate Mile End?) between new WCH and the RAH, with an entrance off Port Rd.

Where’s the public transport access? A dinky bus stop on port road? And that car park is terrible… Having just come back from Europe and enjoying the incredible public transport systems there it’s just disappointing that this hospital is designed for cars and pretty much nothing else… No mention of...

Both the King William St and James Place laneway street frontages on this development are top notch. Perfect fit and well-designed. A very good addition to this important part of the CBD.

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)
I think it will be extremely disappointing if this doesn't go ahead. The price tag of 500-600 million seems appropriate. If we look at other museums/ galleries around the world the costs align pretty well and if we want this to be an "Adelaide Icon" or a reason for people to come visit Ad...

This is lookin’ good.
The subtle detailing changes in the glazing makes all the difference to lift this above your standard glass office building. The subtle curvature of the glass facade should also catch the sunlight at slightly different angles, further lifting the appearance.

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)
I support the Indigenous cultures building. This is more likely to put Adelaide on the map for interstate and overseas visitors than another contemporary art gallery. A building which tells the story of our indigenous people, an honest warts-and-all storytelling of their history. I’ve been to the At...
