City of EDMONTON

Water Color Decided

I ended up going with a slightly different dark color that looks nearly the same but a bit better. After changing the map it really came together....Keep posted for an update with the darker color

Marijntjo : I tried that sports field which looks great but in my game it never appeared in any games menu.

Empireearthead : Thanks I'm going to try that for the Mutart maybe even LE the lot to change it a bit..

Hmm, just a very picky nitpick, 23rd avenue, when it goes down into the valley of whitemud creek, it actually changes to a road, and then goes back to an avenue (well, they're making it an avenue, currently.) I don't know if your getting that picky, but I thought I might as well tell you.

the water only gets really muddy around springtime..with all the meltoff and stuff..

Normally its a greenish blue, actually nicely similar to the picture.

Anyone see the northern lights over the city a few days ago?? they were awesome..rigght over the city.

[beebs 129]

Naw, I missed them. When were they? On the weekend?

Congratulations Dan, you well deserve this award. I dont think theres much anyone could do to make a more realistic recreation.

I live kinda close to you..more to the south by sobeys in the R$$ - R$$$ area.

Congrats on the Trixie..i nominated you.

The Edmonton Sun! why is it praising the city though? The Sun newspapers usually say bad things. Or was that the Star that does that? either way, congratulations!

 

You've barely started and already it's won an award! Keep up the great work!

Some developement on Castledowns. This area is alot like Millwoods. A newer area with many curvey roads. Somewhat mid to highwealth and Edmontons version of a bedroom community despite being right in the city. Castledowns is nearly all residential with minimalls popping up here and there. I also did some development in Bonnie Doon, and 97th street heading North out of the city.

Looking good so far TJD. Keep the updates coming.

I would have thought Riverbend or Callingwood (just south of callingwood actually) would be more bedroom community-ish

I'm not from Edmonton. I was reading a book about the city and it mentioned something about Refinery Row. Where is that, exactly (I was told it's along 101st Ave east of 50th St, but since I've never been there, I can't verify), and how do you plan to recreate it?

[uncrazycooper13 0]

Wow! This is amazing! You definitely deserved the trixie! Can't wait to see more! This is just spectacular! -uncrazycooper13

I can't wait for more updates.

[TheJerseyDevil73 13]

Quito : Refinery row is an area where full of refining plants for gas and oil. Oil and Gas are major industries for Alberta and Edmonton is the backbone of the work force. Alberta also has more oil then the entire US. The only thing is most of it is in what they call Oil sands so its unconventional Oil. But here is a small sample of where and what refinery row is.

 

Here is the map and very roughly most of the area it covers.

 

This is a picture from the river valley and part of the park system. That is the 50th street foot bridge in the foreground. Just one small are of the river valley I mountain bike at.

 

And this is a picture from 1987 when an F4 tornado touched down 6 times hitting many parts of eastern Edmonton. One of the most trying times in Edmontons history.

 

And this is about half of it (to the north).

Castledowns : More development on roads

I've done some more work on the North side of the city. I have 2 days off so I should do alot more work on the road networks. Heres a pic.

woah! nice job!!! looks great! damn realistic
