Consultation is open for a proposed Wakefield Street upgrade between Vic Square and Hutt Street to be completed 2024/25. In general, the proposed treatment is similar to that completed for Grote Street between Morphett and West Terrace — planted medians with spotted gums and better lighting/pavement. Long overdue for a primary boulevard. Submissions open till Friday:

I left feedback that some of the treatments don't go far enough, and that a painted bike lane is insufficient when this is a golden opportunity for an East-West Bikeway.

Surely it would be safer to put the bikeway away from the city’s main bus corridor?

The idea of the bikeways should also be to attract new riders who might not feel very safe on regular city streets. Frome Street is mostly quiet but the bikeway is well-located between Pulteney and Hutt Streets.

Francis St, which connects Rundle Mall and Da Costa Arcade, has recently had some drainage issues resolved.

Unfortunately, it has been repaved - in asphalt.

Is this the same treatment that Gilbert Place received recently? It looks a bit like paving or fake cobblestones?
