Re: Light Rail Visions

I also posted this in the "Tramline: where should they go" thread, but thought it should also go here as its applicable to both.

I think rail along Sir Donald Bradman Drive or Henley Beach Road to airport and then extended to West beach or Henley Beach and road would be good.

But hows this for an ...

Re: Tramline: Where should they go?

I think one along Sir Donald Bradman Drive or Henley Beach Road to airport and then extended to West beach or Henley Beach and road would be good.

But hows this for an Idea. Since that would mean 3 lines West (Glenelg, Henley/West beach and Port/Semaphore) why not link them all up?? If we are to ...

Re: Adelaide Airport Visions


But Adelaide Airport is actually the source of a lot of the area's land value. Being near the airport is important for many businesses, particularly in high tech industries. These businesses require a very large catchment area (to get the best workers) and proximity to an airport (preferably a ...

Re: Adelaide Airport Visions



Adelaide doesn't need a replacement airport. We have plenty of terminal capacity, and when we need more, we can reopen the old domestic terminal. And if we ever need an order of magnitude more terminal capacity, we can extend the terminal along to where the old domestic terminal is, then loop it ...

Re: Port Tram Alternative

Oops I was mistaken. In conversations I've had, I was under the impression it would go all the way down port rd, which would be silly.

Port Tram Alternative

I'll start by saying that I'm all for the expansion of the tram/rail network and I would love to see trams/trains running through every Adelaide suburb. However, I don't understand why a tram along Port Rd to Semaphore is top of the list. It’s funny to see the Lib leader also thinks this (im not a ...

[COM] Re: #Completed : Adelaide Airport

Given recent record oil price rises, I think Emirates will be cutting routes, not adding them. They way oil prices are going, I'm gonna be breaking the bank for my next OS holiday!

Re: Adelaide Airport Visions

Using Tullamarine (Melbourne) airport as an example (to scale). The main runways are approx the same direction as our current airport, the others arent as I havent messed with it yet. An airport of this size would support Adelaide well into the future.

Re: Adelaide Airport Visions



I'll get to work on it sire!
As for Newport Quay residents. Stuff them, its their fault they chose to live there (pending potential future flight path arrangements, just as its my fault I chose to live 1 block away from a bloody freaking busy road)


The new airport must be someway away from ...

Re: Adelaide Airport Visions


Those new suburbs will have plenty of parks and wetlands. It will probably turn out very nice (no floods of course). Does AAL and the SA Government have this vision?

Cheers

Perhaps the Libs might have something up their sleeves to counter Labors plan. I'm sure whatever the Libs have in mind ...

Re: Adelaide Airport Visions

Why do you think Ikea, Harbour Town, business park etc were built? Because AAL makes massive amounts from their lease. They probably make more off this than they would a 2nd parallel runway. If they didn’t these wouldn’t have been built.

This is because the land in this location has huge huge ...
