Because there is a significant electrical easement through the middle of the carpark.....How the FUCK did they not put some trees in that goddamned carpark?
Great job at making a giant heat pad, arseholes.
Ah we were there Satruday from 8:30 ish til the arvo.no just crit riders on the track.
Damn eebikersBecause there is a significant electrical easement through the middle of the carpark.....
Not a brilliant reason to build a FU massive bitumen carpark complete with ticket machines.Because there is a significant electrical easement through the middle of the carpark.....
I will also add, the blister islands are too small to sustain a tree of the required dimensions for the ACT governments tree cover policy, the use of a root barrier will kill the trees by constraining the growth of the root structure, and no root barrier will eventually lead to a fucked pavement and shortened design life and complaints from users...Not a brilliant reason to build a FU massive bitumen carpark complete with ticket machines.
There's hardly any blister islands at all, from memory.I will also add, the blister islands are too small to sustain a tree of the required dimensions for the ACT governments tree cover policy, the use of a root barrier will kill the trees by constraining the growth of the root structure, and no root barrier will eventually lead to a fucked pavement and shortened design life and complaints from users...
See above, trees and AC are not a good mix typically.There's hardly any blister islands at all, from memory.
I'm no expert on these or any other matters, but surely a solution could have been found to not have a massive, un-shaded area of blackness like that.
The ticket machines I can deal with, given that the proceeds go back into the park.
That would be a major part of the problem that I'm referring to. I mean, I see other carparks around with big planter boxes and other similar solutions, not sure why something could not have been identified for this project.I also think it was not part of the design brief to include shading.
Denman is basically a tree free suburb too, I always thought maybe it's so there's less maintenance, as work and all that costs money plus tree roots etc. I wondered if that's why they didn't plant trees (and have just now started putting little pines on nature strips) in Denman as you see in other suburbs the footpaths require a lot of maintenance which costs the government money in the end.That would be a major part of the problem that I'm referring to.

I'm pointing the finger at the people who are responsible for the carpark and the commission of its development, not anyone else.
