I still can’t see how the surface is going to level out to the level of the tram lines on Queens Prom without them having to add about 1.5 to 2ft of hard core from the edge of the hotel walls.

Yes but one night I’m going to put a laser level across it and work the drop out. It has to be at least 12” out and actually likely a lot higher. How are they going to build the road up on the hotel side to level it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pondered this too, I can only assume they're going to remodel all of the hotel's/apartments front steps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but go down by the old Imperial. All underground carparks and even a lot of Queens Prom have basements. How can you build up the pavement that much and get proper access or run off?

WTF Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 the prom will drain into the hotel basements instead of to the beach, good thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I’m not a civil engineer but that was my basic assumption. Even if they build it up to level the road the run off into those gardens, basements and underground carparks will be fairly extreme. I can see a lot of potential litigation from developers.
