It happened again the other night.

Here's a fun video if you have half an hour to kick back and have a laugh.

It kind of explains why we are banging on about the Integrated Movement Strategy.

Because it was made by General Motors in the 1950's, the aim of the vid was to sell buses, so trains, trams and bikes are not mentioned - but the basic message is still relevant.

Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) will soon make crossing Goodwood Road safer and easier for pedestrians and cyclists, with works to upgrade facilities on Goodwood Road at the Glenelg tramline crossing to commence in mid May 2012.

These works form part of the State Government’s $12 million Green Travel Corridor and

Unlike the Channel 7 news who seem to want to scare people that cars will somehow be forced into exile and nobody will be able to find a park, this is about making Adelaide a more interesting and economically stronger city in giving pedestrians the priority in the streetscapes in which they can mingle, shop, sit around at cafes etc etc etc and spend money.
