This is a great CJ. I really like the newspaper also. Ever consider putting in a sports section?

[Mikeaut1 261]

Wow the new park development looks awesome!! Nice placement of the hotel too, in such a convenient place! I'm also liking that interchange!

[Krio 624]

I always read, nice pics etc. Just giving this comment to avoid further advertising in the chat.

[onlyplace4 604]

Great work ... I love your attention to detail in the newspapers and the region itself is just fan-dabby-dosie ... keep up the great work my friend!

[Deever 23]

Oh it's a stream! Nice fountains, BTW.

In my opinion, the new brick see walls look great. Keep em.'

That's a mad (compliment) interchange you got there too.

[Palpatine001 57]

OK I await the downtown

In the mean time look at my CJ Solaria on Page 4 https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=78422&STARTPAGE=4&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear and look at how I did an avenue interchange

Cant wait to see more

Here's some pictures showing the complaints about the lighting. Any thoughts on them?

These are all along the H3. I promise you, in the next update I'll have a region map showing where exactly these roads I'm always blabbing about, are.

Small commercial district, you can also see police headquarters in this shot. And Palps, No.

Just further down the H3.

Aaaand further down again.

Sorry guys, not much of an update tonight. Tomorrow, I'll have more exciting stuff, region shots, etc. shots from around the Valley. Hope this settles your thirst until then!

tomdapom: Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy it! There isn't going to much of a downtown yet.. I sort of have a few centralized commerce districts, but nothing terribly major. I'll show them out in the next update for you guys

Salbador: Thank you!

homeandaway: Thanks a lot! I really do appreciate it . I'm glad you enjoy it, and thanks for reading!

jacqulina: Thanks!

bat: Thank you!

SamTheMan: I would put in a sports section, but there wouldn't be much to talk about. Perhaps once their WHL team gets rolling. Thanks for the comment!

Mikeaut1: Thanks, Mikey, glad you likey!

-DJ-DIABLO-: Thank you!

Krio: Er.. heh. Thanks!

onlyplace4: Thanks, op4! Hope to see ya back!

Deever: Hehe, now you see it! Thanks for the thoughts on the brick, I'll add it to my tally.

Palpatine001: Thanks!

~AleX~

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

wow, sorry i missed a few updates lol, that interesection looks like a real headache to drive!! I love the park, its very nice! I dont think those lights are monstrosities, I kind of like them, but hey i have weird taste...and do those Sims do anything besides complain??

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull update my friend,great transport system there nicely done,excellent pics

[SamTheMan 0]

This city looks so realistic

[Krio 624]

Isn't the highway too curved? I mean that you can't drive really fast so it seems a waste of money. (I know, curved highway looks better)

[Voulpiotis 4]

Wow, impressive!

[Kevin 101]

Very nice stuff here beebs... a little bit too nice if you know what I mean. Love the newspaper

[Palpatine001 57]

Beebs, STOP READING MY MIND WILL YOU!

Anycase looking good, those light masts must go they are an EYESORE!

As for parking, there are underground parking structures available such as the one here by gshmails available in STEX

As for crime, well I can lend you 500 stormtroopers to "restore order" if you wish.

Apart from that I am buying a holiday place here.

4 thumbs up

[Deever 23]

Most of what I was going to say were already stated by the folks above me. All I could say is keep up the good work!

[beebs 129]

As promised, here is a region view showing the main and important roads running through Capilano Valley. Highways are marked in red, avenues yellow. You can see now, how aptly named Capilano Avenue is, as it follows the Capilano River down a fair ways. It was originally the highway that ran through the region, but as demand grew the province decided it was necessary to build a bypass route, which is now the H3 that we know today. While the H3 is getting filled with commuter traffic each morning, there are currently no plans to create a third bypass for the region. The city and the province are, however, considering turning Capilano Ave. into a demi-freeway, with some interchanges and higher speed limits. Possibly might be featured in the paper tomorrow.

Here's some areas mentioned, and other attractions around town. This might help give you a sense of where everything is around the Valley.

Arbordale Stadium, home of the Capilano River Rats, of the PCL. Was previously the only sports team in town, before the WHL agreed to expand to the Valley.

Track & Field stadium. Used by the Capilano High School frequently for track meets. Tennis courts also recieve frequent use by people around the valley.

And that's all for today, folks!

daniel01: Hehe, glad you liked it, and thanks!

homeandaway:  Thank you, and I will!

BlondeTwiggy: Hah... your loss! Anyways, glad to see you like it, and hmm... You do seem to be in the minority about those lights. And as for complaining, is it any different from real life?

jacqulina: Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!

SamTheMan: Thanks so much!

Krio: Its got all those little curves, to emulate a much smoother curve in the 'big picture.' I know it looks bad in the close up view, but as you see from the region picture, it's a heck of a lot more realistic. Just imagine that it's a smooth line.

Voulpiotis: Thank you!

Cheese89: Thanks! Glad you enjoy reading my mini-novels.

Palpatine: Thanks for the comments, and I'll consider your offer.

Deever: Thanks for your support! Really appreciate it.

i love it beebsy! it looks so Canadian!

[Frankie_Grove 33]

i'm a little late but get rid of the high mast lighting it's not pretty other than that, love the way this is going, especially they region pic

[crazyyaya 4]

Nice terrain.

[Krio 624]

Aah, now I understand the highway curves. I once did ringroads, it looks awesome in region view but very ugly in close-ups. And nice maps you have.

[Palpatine001 57]

Looking better and better beebs.

I have an idea for transit, now I know you don't use Big Dig, but I know you use NAM. I have been working on Solarian City - a river/harbour/strait/ocean/islands/mainland piece and doing transit is hard for this one, however in doing it gave me a few ideas for yours.

Capilano Ave should stay the same, again look at The Knoll in my CJ - Solaria and see how I did effective interchanges using NAM and Avenues. Forrester Drive should be turned into a Motorway and cross the river to link with H3, then build another bridge from where 45th street ends across the river and connect to Capilano Ave, this and the motorwayification of Forrester Drive can form the inner city bypass loop system, delaying the need for a highway on the Capilano Side for another 35,000 more sims.

But that is just me

4 thumbs up Beebs

[Deever 23]

Excellent sports facilities, especially Arbordale Stadium. I can just imagine driving through that region. I haven't reached Capilano Valley yet and already is see the beautiful mountains and waterways. Very nice.

[cheese91 9]

Awesome work, Alex

Keep it up!
