I don't like the new tramline extension. I don't see the point. I haven't had anyone successfully explain to me why we need it. It's kind of like the "why we can't have daylight savings all the time" argument. I've heard the reasons (something to do with farmers I think. And possibly cows). They just sound insignificant when considering the greater good.
I'm not sure if traffic will improve down North Terrace once the construction is over and the trams are in, but at the moment it's terrible. One of the things I love about Adelaide is that I can drive my car through the CBD and not have a nervous breakdown. Anyone who has been a passenger in my car while driving in Melbourne would tell you that's not always the case. Anyway it took me about ten minutes this morning to get from the West Terrace/North Terrace intersection to the David Jones car park. And that's just too long.
If we need a tram extension (and obviously as someone who doesn't take the tram, I don't think we do), I don't know why it has to go all the way onto North Terrace down to the uni. Uni students should be encouraged to walk. Back when I was younger we used to do that all the time. Kids are spoiled these days though.
