Thanks to the population boom, i finally have more residents than commerce.

The downtown area developed nicely, some low density areas where upgraded to medium density. This resulted in some traffic problems. Those were fixed by upgrading some streets to roads, and placing roundabouts on busy intersections.


West of the downtown area is the place to be if you want a place with a nice view.


And in the north, partially replacing farmland, next to the sea is another residential area.

Do roundabouts actually work in game, I always figured it would cause traffic havoc.

The one in my screenshot works great, the intersections were previously red, now the roundabout is green when i check the traffic data view, but i suppose you do have to create them in the right direction to not mess it up (clockwise for left-hand driving, and ccw for right-hand driving)

For avenues it takes a bit more effort to create one since a one-way round perpendicular on the end of an avenue can only be place in 1 direction, if it's in the wrong direction it won't be used. This because if you have a left-hand avenue, the traffic at the end turns right to turn back on the avenue. However for a roundabout you want the oneway road to turn right. So the trick is to split the avenue into 2 one-way roads right before the roundabout.
Though i've never applied an avenue-roundabout in a highly congested area, so i don't know if it would be beneficial.

Contractors report: Smiley built the city of Slag Mountain. This city is home to many heavy industries displaced from Takeshi Bay.
Two nukes were launched from Missile Base Murray towards as yet unspecified targets.

All small residential and commercial, a mix of all types in medium industrial. Development is probably complete already in this city, its also self-sustaining so i doubt ill be making updates. Plus itll keep plenty of lower class in the region.

Introducing South Floreat 2020.

This small city is sandwitched between Floreat City, Tartarus, and the region claimed by lord Kassiopeia.

The city is mostly a commercial and industrial center, with limited residential opprotunities. At first the mainland was developed with commercial and industrial, and the peninsula to the south was developed commercial as well. Then, an artifical barrier island was constructed to the west, for commercial and residential development. However the construction of the island had to be subsidized with a missile test site.

New connections: avenue built to Kassi.

Ok...well, Boothbay has made it to 2005, at least:
R:10,106
C: 1,869
I: 4,435



Boothbay has become a sleepy little slum that's quickly spreading across the face of the peninsula. Though the children of Boothbay are well educated, their parents are mostly morons who can't figure out how to do much more than make concrete. The sunsets from the top of Asthma Hill are spectacular, though.



This is not to say that attempts to move away from basic industry have not been tried...they have just met with mixed success. At one point, a big name developer was brought in to build a casino which was to be the heart of Boothbay's tourist trade; alas, even after completion of the structure, the city council refused to legalize gambling, and the building has had to be converted into a 20 story Target in order to make its monthly payments to the city:



As you can see though, a new attempt at creating a commercial center for the city is underway, and everybody holds great hope for the Protoplaza.

The mayor has not allowed his constituants to suffer alone, however. He has moved into one of the darkest, dirtiest parts of the city, transferring his posh estate to the coastal slums, so that all the poor and hopeless may look upon its green, manicured grounds and see a brighter future from outside the double-locked gates. He is truly a man of the people.

Koyaanisqatsi, I'll make sure to stretch the monorail system out to you.

I would also like to leave space for an eventual highway connection from Takeshi Bay through me to you, you cool with that?

I could use a monorail by now, btw, Smiley - I have craploads of $$$, the roads aren't cutting it and everyone is too posh for buses. I've also neglected highway development somewhat since I can't figure out the kinks in building them, so I just have avenues and lots of road. I'll lay some down in 2020-25, you can make the connection.

In the south, on the landmass that ends with the edge of the map in south (as opposed to the landmass adjacent to Floreat and Tartarus). I have my HT park there. I'll pull it through my city and probably have it end up in Tartarus after it makes a U turn in my central area.

This is how I imagine it - the orange line is a possible addition that will connect South Floreat to the network. If it's more convenient for you, you can always place it north of the inlet/strait too, it'll have to cover as much ground anyway.

A monorail connection to South Floreat bYnw, as if the network were connected between South Floreat and Elmwood, the entire region's monorail network would finally be connected. But I would like to set the spot; I'm thinking 2 tiles to the east of the current avenue connection.
