1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Five Double A Knights with Matthew Pantalas. The Adelaide City

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Council meeting tonight has come up with a decision on

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Hunt Street, and on the face of it, it seems

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: to be relatively sensible. One of the long time traders,

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: in fact, his dad had the shot before him. Ideal

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: shoe repairs, Richard Librelato been there forever Richard, Hello, how are.

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: You, Matthew?

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: Are you all right? Thank you? So they've gone for

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: option B. It seems out of five or six, five

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: different options that they had considered and not.

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: Exactly all right. Tonight's workshop meeting the council, because we've

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: been speaking to the council and counselors, we approached the

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: council to revise the five plans they gave us, and

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: they did. They listened, which was fantastic. Tonight's workshop was

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: a presentation of option hybrid Option B and a hybrid

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: option of E so we can try to extend bike lanes,

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: extend parking. There was more or less a majority vote

18
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: for a hybrid option of B, which looks pretty good.

19
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: Really cool. Times managed to put in some block pedestrian crossings,

20
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: which is fantastic. Retaining probably ninety percent of our car parks,

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: which is really good. Extended wider biplanes with wide buffer

22
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: zones to car parks. They're starting to tick all the boxes.

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: It's not the final decision though, no now now the

24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 2: councils up to them to decide, because all the plans

25
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: are still on the table. But I think it's slowly

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: coming down to it's either going to be probably an

27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: Option B hybrid or the Option D, which is the

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: parallel parking. But you know that's all coming down next week.

29
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: But I know you're always in the street and you

30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: always stop and say hello, so I'll keep you posted.

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: No, thank you.

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: It's looking very positive, Okay, looking good. I mean both

33
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: options are fantastic.

34
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: You know you don't want Option D though, do you.

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Option D is turning it into frame street. That would

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: be a nightmare.

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I look Option D. I mean, you know, for

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: some of us daytime traders, it's you know, it's probably

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: not a really good option for us. But for some

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: of the nighttime traders, look, they actually don't mind the idea,

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: you know. But Option B, the hybrid option is actually

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: a really good place. Yeah, it's really nice. The residents

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 2: seem to be really supportive of it. But yeah, yeah,

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, at the end of the day,

45
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of hard work by the council

46
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: and and you know, residents and traders, you know, everyone,

47
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: the whole community has been involved, which has been great.

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: Been a long haul, but I think we're coming down

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: to the last seven days where hopefully these guys have

50
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: got a tough decision to make, but by next Tuesday

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: night we'll have a final plan on it. Fantastic option B.

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Even with the pedestrian crossings that you talk about, these

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: are the raised ones like the one up the end

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: in Hut Road that slows traffic down for no reason

55
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: at all. You're talking about it.

56
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't believe it's that what time was

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: trying to explain. It's a block pedestrian crossing where they'll

58
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: eliminate a couple of car parks on each side I see,

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: and open up the medium strip in the middle where

60
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: it actually allows easier access to cross through. You don't

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: have to step through rose bushes.

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Right.

63
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: They did a survey, I mean the last few weeks,

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: you know, because they listened to us, which was really nice.

65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: They did a survey and they realized that, you know,

66
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: in between crossings, there's certain blocks where people are too

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: hard to walk two hundred meters up to the next

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: set of lights and come back. So they're putting crossings

69
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: in between crossings, which is fantastic idea. I mean we've

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: been requesting that for ages, you know, and you know

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: it's looking really good. It's coming out quite positive, which

72
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: is quite nice.

73
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: All right, and you still keep around what one hundred,

74
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: well the option be the original one had one hundred

75
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: and twelve on street.

76
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: I think we're only losing about two, two or three

77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 2: car parks.

78
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: That's good, that's that's a good result. I mean, you

79
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: want people to stop. This is the whole thing. If

80
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: people can't get car parking, they're not going to stop

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: for a coffee, They're not going to stop for a

82
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: bite two week, they're not going to bring their shoes

83
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: in for repair. If they can't find a park, they

84
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: won't you know, you'll die.

85
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And look, you know that's always been the beauty

86
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: of Hut Street. Hut Streets had such a blend of

87
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: businesses over the years. I mean I've been there forever,

88
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: you know, you know, we copped a battle. When the

89
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: banks left, that was that was a killer, and then COVID,

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: you know, but now this is the next step. I mean,

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: you know what, everyone's in favor of a revent. We

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: need a revitalization. That's just what pathway we're taking. It's

93
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: looking quite positive. It's quite nice.

94
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: The Council's cup, the fair bits fleck over it, over

95
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the fact they were considering turning it into frame.

96
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: There's a lot of learning curves though. I think that

97
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: they I mean, I'm sure they're going to start. There's

98
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: already talked about them doing works on Guja Street and

99
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: everywhere else, and they'll probably go get that way in

100
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: a different approach, you know, because this has been a

101
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: big hurdle, this one.

102
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

103
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: The major street, well it is technically East Terrace because

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: you know, when you look at Terrace, nor Terrace, hutch

105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: Street is East Terrace drives along the park lands. It's

106
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: the square. So it is the main arterial.

107
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: Exactly, and you can't pull a lane out of it

108
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: for goodness sake, no, no.

109
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, and even going parallel parking. I mean,

110
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: you know, I mean it's not nice to say, but

111
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: there's quite a large percent of the population, the cat

112
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: Verse park in the main main coming track exactly. The

113
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: angle parking was always a key. I mean, it does

114
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: make it easier for a lot.

115
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Of people to park, yeah for sure.

116
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: But the fact that they've widened the bike lanes and

117
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: they're putting buffer zones in trying to make it safer

118
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: for cycling and actually giving giving space for east scooters

119
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: to start riding so they come off the footpath right,

120
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: So then they keeping the footpath with which is really nice.

121
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: They're not narrowing those out, so you know, it's actually

122
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: looking really good.

123
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, that's that's good to hear, all right. If

124
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: traders are happy, that's that's a good thing.

125
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: Good and residents.

126
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well I'd be happy with it. I mean

127
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Option B in front of me here

128
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: on the screen now, the original Option B anyway, and

129
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: I think it's great. It's largely unchanged apart from a

130
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: wider bike lane and a few modifications.

131
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, that's probably what we were asking

132
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: for many years ago. Been a seven year project. You know,

133
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: we approached the council seven years ago, I reckon, and

134
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: that's why we want that. We wanted them to just

135
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: beautify the street, let's improve these foot parts, and let's

136
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: improve the lighting and make it safer, you know, And

137
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: it's looking that way, but we still don't know. They

138
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: still have to make a big decision. As to I reckon,

139
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: it's down to two plans from what I can see,

140
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: which is great because the five plans was chaos.

141
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, totally. And so next Tuesday.

142
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: Night, you reckon, Yeah, next Tuesday night, Well, they said

143
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: tonight that they're going to make a decision because you know,

144
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: even as businesses, we've all got a plan. You know.

145
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: They spoke about a roadmap to the Adelaide City Council

146
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: what they what they need to do, and every business

147
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: is the same. We've got to start planning ourselves. Absolutely, yeah, yeah,

148
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: definitely Yeah.

149
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: Good on you, Richard, Thank you for calling through. Really

150
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: appreciate your time and all the best down their ideal

151
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: shoe repairs. You do all the repairs and leather work

152
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: and everything else. So good on you.

153
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: Thanks, thank you.

154
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Being down there forever on Hat Street,
