I thought that too, but there's no mention of undergrounding the rail line in the video (it does mention the tram line though). I dare say it's just a case of something not lining up right in the render (and a bad use of Photoshop's healing brush causing the line to look like it's heading underground before it leaves the parklands)[Shuz] wrote:Those screen shots tell us two things, concerning transport; that it appears like they plan to extend the tramline down East Street, and the rail corridor appears like it will be converted into a "green nature strip" between Park Terrace and East Street, which would indicate plans to go ahead with an early proposal to submerge the rail line underground, eliminating the Park Terrace level crossing, making the Bowden Station underground and resurface some point later down the track.
Start of Bowden Village

ON SITE: Wayne Gibbings from the Land Managementjl Corporation at the development.
REMEDIATION works for the first stage of the Bowden Urban Village are expected to be complete by July.
Land Management Corporation (LMC) chief executive Wayne Gibbings said a 25sq m petrol tank had been uncovered at the former Clipsal site at the northwestern corner of the development, which faces Park Tce.
Mr Gibbings said contractors would remove contaminated soil and replace it with clean fill before construction started on the first homes, between Fifth and Seventh streets.
The 16 ha development will incorporate the former Clipsal and Origin energy land, on Park Tce and Chief St.
The State Government will develop the site over the next 10-12 years, to create the state’s first transit oriented development (TOD), with shops, offices and 2200 homes.
Mr Gibbings said at least two “saw-tooth” industrial buildings would be retained, to be used for a market and artists’ studio.
“Gibson St will have a main street feel, if you think Norwood Parade or Jetty Rd, Glenelg” he said.
Mr Gibbings said many of the streets would feature tree-lined median strips and reedbeds, and the whole precinct would have a maximum speed limit of 25km/h, to “create a shared space for pedestrians, cyclists and cars”.
The first stage will include 211 homes, in three-storey terraces and 4-5 storey apartment buildings.
Residents are expected to begin moving in late in 2012 or early in 2013
I am guessing this tank was located somewhere near the petrol bowser that was used to supply the company vehicles with fuelWill wrote:From the Messenger:

This is too slow, for a whole suburb, IMO. I think 40km/h works quite well in the back streets of Unley, I find it hard to justify a 25km/h limit.Local News4 May 11 @ 12:58pm by Michelle Etheridge wrote:

I agree, 40km/h is much more suitable. Leave 25km/h for school zones and road works.rhino wrote:This is too slow, for a whole suburb, IMO. I think 40km/h works quite well in the back streets of Unley, I find it hard to justify a 25km/h limit.Local News4 May 11 @ 12:58pm by Michelle Etheridge wrote:

Kudos for the rest of it, though.
