    so here is the completed new island and i am happy with the way it
    all turned out.  First i'm gonna post a small trans map.
     
    all previously shown small towns lie in a circular fashion along
    the coast with a large city in the middle as for transit this is my only
    city that is without rail service but the road work is highly detailed.
     
    very few grids and all roads lead to higher capacity roads quite
    naturally and with the flow of traffic towards the CBD
     
    <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//trans%20complete.JPG align=baseline>
     
    very few grids as you can see
     
    <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//ert.JPG align=baseline>
     
    i think from a far the island looks quite nice.....
     
    now for the large city in the middle this one is quite nice as well and took quite a while
     
    <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//n.JPG align=baseline>
     
     
    i really tried to limit high rise to give the area a realistic touch
     
    also after driving around Chicago this weekend i noticed a lot of highway barriers
    which is reflected in this city...
     
    <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//e.JPG align=baseline>'
     
     
    I really tried for a raod layout the really had a flow to it....the avs all lead to neighboring
    suburbs and eventually the coastal blvd-Cali stylee

    Hello AK,

    Your traffic looks really nice, are you using the newest NAM, recently downloaded? Just because I can see diagonal avenue bridges going over motorway... am I correct in thinking?

    Alek, I am really enjoying following your CJ.  I like how you keep adding islands to the region and your transportation networks look fantastic.

    The avenues and highways look really nice through those neighborhoods. I like the whole suburban boulevard concept, as I use that style quite frequently. 44.gif

    AK, the combo pics are great! Better to keep them vertical. It is hard to get the full effect while trying to tilt your head. 17.gif

    AK,

    All of your pics look great.  The downtown area looks great...and you didn't make the whole place a skyscrapper jungle which is great.
     
    The transportation looks good.  And the new islands are a good touch too.
     
    Keep up the great work...  keep em coming... 44.gif

    the new area being shown now is the far southern island and i will also
    post a few pics of that tiny island
     
    <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//xc.JPG align=baseline>
     
    the industrial port can easily be seen on then trans map
     
    <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//xx.JPG align=baseline>
     
    all residents of these suburbs take either rail
    or the highway to work in the port

    Wow, you're tough to keep up with.2.gif

    Loved all these recent updates.  The mosaic style pics look wonderful.  The pic that really caught my eye though was your port area.  It is massive......Looks fantastic....
     
    Great Job...
