Re: SA Budget 2016: Adelaide tramline to be extended to East

Image

There is one element which should be considered during laying tram tracks across KW&NT intersection and that is laying rails/switches toward North Adelaide to avoid wasting money in the future.

It came as a surprise to me… but nice one. Of course, like others I would like to have more tram routes in the city and out of it. I see this as a good step to break impasse we have had for years.
Of course there are questions ...

Re: PRO: 30-year Transport Plan PRO | $36b

:)

I would like that some of you who are here regularly and always against anything that does not suit their car/armchair vision and experience get up and visit cities with well-developed tram/rail networks. It will be a long trip as the main portion of these cities are located in Europe. If you ...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

..... unless Hindmarsh is going to be on the coast.

Yes, according to some sea rise projections it might happen. :D

But, seriously I think the priority should be the city tram circle and eventually the underground rail line for all positive reasons we have already discussed here and then we ...

Re: #VIS: CBD Tram Loop

:)

It’s hard to make everyone happy and I don’t see a “general sentiment” against bends. I do not think that a few bends will add significant time for travel. Bends or no bends I would like that circle line to happen. The tram net in my old home town is full of bends and no one would like to ...

Re: #VIS: CBD Tram Loop

:)

I think that proposed route does a good job as it will encourage further urban development/density especially below Grote/Wakefield streets. Also it will connect (to) both Universities along North Terrace and will make the north part of the city more accessible from the south parts of the city ...

Re: ## General Public Transport thread



this has been the stupidest thing, i've heard a lot of complaints, Payneham rd buses are just for starters, the J1 which was the city's longest and most successful bus route does not go straight through from Glenelg to the City and then TTP and Elizabeth anymore, it now requires a change in the ...

Hi,
Taking into account history of The Advertiser/AdelaideNow, I think we should have unique topic about their role in “development” of the CBD. :D

Hi,

Before we chose Adelaide as our destination we were advised about the prevailing parochial mentality among the people and it looks to have been the right advice. Comments in the AdelaideNow are a fine example (+) compounded with the political filtering when a local newspaper has a very obvious ...

Re: New Retail in the CBD

Hi,

Well, it’s not a new store but it’s closed now. Does anyone know when it will be reopened (exactly) and how it will look? I am talking about Woolworths. Two weeks ago when I was there the message was – middle of the year.
