Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development

https://www.indailysa.com.au/news/business/2024/12/19/future-of-cranker-development-in-question Wonder if this means the sudden rush to change every development plan into a student accomodation block (ie Trinity Church biomedical tower switcharoo), or build one in the shell of every pub that doesn't...

Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport Contracts, Service & Policy

Here's a questionnaire about future transport in SA by the DTI. For those with an interest in transport, here's your chance. https://engage.dit.sa.gov.au/transport-strategy-survey Having gone through it, my feeling is that the intended goal is to push for support for bus on demand and trackless tra...

Re: PRO: Marion, Cross & Morphett Roads LCR | $400m

Works are commencing this Sunday 17/11 on the Morphett Rd level crossing removal, running to "late December", they're saying impacts on everything from Anzac to Bray so I expect they'll be using that whole length as switchable 1 lane each way while they work on the other. The bike path is ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

There weren’t that many people living at Seaford or Aldinga until they started building houses either. :wink: Sensible to aim for a safeguarded corridor to Sellicks even if the railway will only go as far as Aldinga in the foreseeable future. Saves on the hassle and cost of pesky acquisitions when ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

If they extend it that far , does the frequency of the Trains to day Noarlunga get impacted negatively? Or would they do express past Noarlunga ? 'cos there's sooo many people living at Sellicks...

Stop planing and start digging . Adelaide most be the most overplaned and underdeveloped City in Australia.
Kinda funny given that (allegedly :wink: ) DPTI was renamed DIT because nobody who worked there could ever figure out what the P stood for :lol:

Hook turns are one of the worst things about Melbourne, and when I've driven there I've gone out of my way to drive counter clockwise so I don't have to deal with them

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

From a traffic perspective option 1 makes sense, I used to drive west along Waymouth to West Tce when leaving my previous job in the CBD, you wouldn't believe how many people ran reds, missed green turn lights, or changed lanes right in front of you mid stream in those multiple light sets across the...

Not sure why people are celebrating this, regardless of their "emotions" connected to a pub. This is a terrible outcome, and sets a terrible precedent. Then again this is South Australia where most people can't see past their own self interests regardless of the bigger costs/negatives dow...

Re: PRO: Marion Road Level Crossing Removal Project | $200m

If they removed all the level crossings then maybe they could step on the gas outside of the shared corridors in the city, like the Luas does with their Citadis 401 and 502s in Dublin

According to the Save the Cranker group, the current operator has a right of return after a maximum 2 years, and has no plans to leave or change anything. The legislation also says that the building must always be a pub, and has a right to operate as a live music venue. The developer might even have...

Would love the know all the details here. At the end of the day it looks like we’ve paid money to not have something we need, being student accom in the Adelaide CBD. JLL just a month or so ago showing a shortage of 2000 beds. There are plenty of lots in the CBD that are either empty, a ground leve...

A lot of double speak and weasel words in that government non-announcement, a cynical man might suggest they're going to announce the development is going ahead and the Cranker will be replaced by a state funded pop-up venue (that will run dry of funding in 2029 after half a dozen single day events ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Exactly. Any tram from the airport to the city is just going to sit in the same traffic that buses do today, there would minimal time savings and little incentive to use them. Any consideration of a tram to the airport longer term should certainly include other options, such as whether it could ext...
