Once again, great terraforming, and planning with the roads. Will you eventually have highways going through the region once you build it up? Looking forward to seeing more!

Oh definitely.  What you see in the screen shots is just a network of incredibly long streets.  Eventually most will become roads.  Better bridges will be built.  Some roads will become avenues and may take slightly different routes and certain roads will suddenly find the prefix of "old" or "new" in front of their names.  Some "routes" will have 8 or 9 names as one travels along.  Many may go by 'north-south' or 'east-west' even though the road itself goes in every direction at some point.  Interstates, freeways, and toll roads will appear last--requiring some things to be rerouted or destroyed.  

There will also be railroads at first--some will survive and maybe some will just become bike trails.  Other mass transit won't be hard to make since I'm emulating the DC area--it can all be largely worthless and ineffective.  It's okay, I don't need cities to work economically because I'm using the little park plaza cheat thing.  I also don't much care about heavy traffic because that just adds to the realism.

If possible, in the district, I hope to get a mod to remove all traffic rules because nobody follows them anyway. 

Unfortunately, my computer suffered a massive heart attack the other day and surgery will last until late Sunday or Monday.  They won't tell me how it's doing until then.  We had some severe thunderstorms...every day of summer...so that might have something to do with it.  for now, anyway, things are on a definite and unfortunate hiatus.

Hopefully your computer will survive! I'm from Maryland and I must say this is going to be a challenge! But, I'm not doubting you because so far it looks great! Keep it up!

Sorry to hear about your computer, though that sounds like good planning for the roads. Sometimes I've changed the alignments of roads that as I've built the freeways through a region, forcing short multiplexes where formerly there was a crossroads where the highway goes through, or when I've routed a road around a town. Looking forward to more when your computer's fixed.
