Field Street much improved, but ACC really needs to kick its addiction to asphalt footpaths and public spaces. Very poor idea in our summer climate.

I've seen this method employed in Bowden which could prove to be a good quality, cheaper alternative to plain bitumen. Essentially when driving on the roads in Bowden, you'll notice that between each pair of trees planted on the roadside, they break up the bitumen roadway with what looks like paving. It's actually bitumen that they've stuck a series of rubber mats over the top of and then used a heat stencil to create the 'brick paver' effect, these mats also have a traction element to them so they're non-slip. I'll get a picture next time I'm walking around Bowden.

Its quite pleasant to walk down. The advertising for lease on the property calls it Chinatown, so I guess this is an unofficial extension of Chinatown to another street.

They do this a lot around Bowden, it's quite neat. I'm not sure why they don't consider this more often in terms of softening laneways and even as a cheaper option to paving the outer CBD streets (rather than leaving it as bitumen). Also too, King William Road in the Unley Council region, this would have been a cheaper and most robust option than repaving the whole street...

It does look a lot better. Had a neighbour that did this on their driveway years ago and it did wear out in spots.

Charles Street. Reminds me of when I first moved to Adelaide and how disappointed I was the council couldn’t have matched the pavers on Rundle Mall after what I assumed was them digging up sections of the street over the years. A friend told me it was all new and supposed to be like that.

James Place is also getting a much needed revamp.
The James Place laneway connecting Rundle Mall and Grenfell Street is getting a $1.5 million upgrade, while Charles Street nears completion of its pedestrian-only transformation. See the pictures.
The Adelaide City Council today announced they’ll revitalise James Place, with the state government committing $500,000 towards upgrading the north-south thoroughfare running behind the recently completed $450 million King William Street tower development.
The upgrade to James Place will include high-quality paving, feature lighting, public artwork, bollards and greening.

James Place looked so good when it had that overhang scaffolding
