Re: #VIS: Riverside (Entertainment Precinct)

Adelaide is presented with two options for progress for once, either way the state wins.

Re: #Article: Underground water rescue for Adelaide

Well I used to take rather detailed lecture notes which I then lost but yes 40% is probably a rather inflated figure, our lecturer was passionate about civil engineering :D After a bit of Googling I found this http://www.ministers.sa.gov.au/news.php?id=3381 which gives a statistic which this http://...

Re: #VIS: Inner-City Stadium/Riverbank Precinct

What happened to this thread? It's disappointing it kinda fell off the face of the Earth after a whole bunch of name calling. Does anybody on SA still support an inner city stadium? Financially I can't see how it could be any worse than a new hospital, when do hospitals ever make money? It's also ra...

Re: #Article: Underground water rescue for Adelaide

In a particularly unmotivated and listless period of last year I decided to do engineering at TAFE. I remember my lecturer told us how Adelaide's water pipes are only replaced on failure or otherwise patched up until they fail at a later date and that 40% of all water that travels through the pipes ...

From the City Messenger: Bonython Park trees facing chop “Nothing is greener than public transport and for every tree that’s removed we will be planting one hundred more,” he said. So where exactly are 50,000 trees are going to be planted? - assuming that the trees removed from the parklands will b...

Re: [] News: Adelaide City Council

There used to be an overpass going between the first balcony of the Richmond Hotel to what is now Toys R Us in the Renaissance Building, with escalators going down to the mall. I don't actually remember them ever being open or what was up there, but I'm sure others do. Ah thank you, yes I think I r...

Re: [] News: Adelaide City Council

As much as I am for more outdoor seating, it would impact on cross-traffic of the mall, and create congestion points elsewhere which, when busy is already pretty chaotic as it is. More outlets should operate on the second floor, and if possible create walkways above the mall. Not really a response ...
