Diamond Bay, Oregon

[GMoney702 0]

      -This is the start of a city based on the Pacific coastal cities of Oregon.  The city started out as a small mining town and then, at this point, is growing into a medium-sized and friendly group of communities and organizations.  The city was founded in 1851 and didn't start growing very fast until around 1905.  

      -The main areas of the town area are Diamond Beach, Union Creek, Oakridge, Chemult, Downtown, La Pine, and Tidewater.  All of these areas have different characteristics and attract people to them in different ways.  For example, Oakridge is a friendly suburban community but, Chemult has small, rundown areas.  In this thread, I will give you a tour of each area as it is being built and/or as it is completed.

In this picture, the year is 1998.  This is the only power plant in the city and it is named after the area of town it is in.  This power plant uses clean technology that was up-to-date at the time.

Just south of the power plant, in Oakridge, lies a quiet residential community.  The people who live here barely move out.  Although, a lot of them are older people and decide to use one of these homes as their last house to live in.

Lets head south into the small commercial district of Oakridge.

At the top, lies the Sky Plaza where places such as Big Lots! are located.

The two blue buildings to the right are the architectural offices that design some of the homes in Oakridge and some of the homes in the other parts of the city.

Not bad, not bad ...

Lots of green, a lot of small houses and some free spaces. I like those small details like the highway sign or the fence.

Can we see by any chance a region and/or traffic view?

I really would like to recommend a slope mod to you.

Especially at the highway under pass these steep slopes are not beautiful at all.

As far as I can see the highway makes a bump there, too so instead of a underpass with these steep grades I would do an overpass there if I was you.

Even though you're CJ is located in Oregon - any chance we see some nice MT (on rail, elTrain or even Monorail that is ... )

Take care and make Backups!

-Update 2-

     -In this update, I will pretty much finish the tour of Oakridge.  I'll also start to take some more pictures per update and put some of my city's documents and maps on the forums after this post.

     -Anyway, on to Update 2!

     As you can see, in this picture (above), to the left there is a fence.  The fence surrounds the entire property of the Oakridge Power Plant due to safety issues.  Some people have been come to their death in the high-speed turbines of the power plant.

     The buildings in the middle of the picture are all on a hill.  The largest one in the picture is the "Made In Oregon" building.  The small area of shops in the upper right were recently added due to the expand in population.

     North of power plant is another residential community that is at a higher elevation then the previous Oakridge communities.  You can tell this because of the growth of pine trees like the Douglas Fir.

     This is another new Oakridge commercial district along with some high-tech industries.  Diamond Park which is one of the most famous parks in the city was just built six months before this picture was taken.  In the upper-right corner lies Fire Station no.1 and to the left are the houses from the previous picture.

     The high-tech plants here were added because of the real techies out in the city wrote me a letter saying that we need to look towards the city's future employees who are now in school learning and possibly majoring in scientific advances.

     This is my favorite picture so far because of the major detail.  I have had many meeings on what to do with the roads when it comes to rough terrain.  We have come to a conclusion to build tunnels around the areas that are most likely to be highly congested in the future.  To the left is Aspen Park which has been around longer than Diamond Park.  This is the same commercial district that extends from the area where the "Made In Oregon" building is.  The increasing commercial buildings mean that the zoning for more residential is going to be planned very soon.
