They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot " The song Big
Yellow Taxi has some pertinent lyrics
for the possible fate of Cheltenham Park open space. |
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT I don't care about spots on my apples, LEAVE me the birds and the bees please Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot Why not? Listen, late last night, heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi took my girl away Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Well, don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise to put up a parking lot Well now, they paved paradise And put up a parking lot I don't wanna give it Why you wanna give it Why you wanna givin it all away Hey, hey, hey Now you wanna give it I should wanna give it Now you wanna givin it all away Hey, paved paradise, put up a parking lot Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot |

| Cheltenham Parade is also a great truck
thoroughfare: and
|
part of a
well known hoon track:
|
||
Council might well need to consider 50k zones, and roundabouts or similar features to deter trucks using the Parade as a shortcut to West Lakes Boulevard, and to deter the many speedsters. At the moment Cheltenham Parade could be renamed "South Road Junior" because that is what it has become. Yet, there is more traffic planned for both the Parade and Torrens Rd with a residential development. St Clair development even has its current entry/exit at the very black spot of the Torrens Road tragedy. View the LMC report again, and comments made -> Comments on LMC community report |
