This was corrected in later editions on that day. The concept put forward by the Civic Trust on page 4 clearly separates the parklands from any building projects and even from hard surface sports by proposing that the parklands be reserved for softsurface sports while hardsurface sports are encouraged in other areas such as within and above the rail yards area at Keswick and Mile End South. This creates the best of both worlds by maintaining the parklands as Adelaides worldrenowned natural recreation area and dedicating a special area outside and west of the parklands to hard surface activities. The suggested layout would also enhance access by western suburbs residents to the parklands. 2007-10-20 07:04:03 http://www.civictrust.net.au/page2.htm#15512 The voting for the Peoples Choice award is still on the AdelaideNow.com.au site but has shifted from Latest... to the horizontal banner of news items scroll down once.
