Blue Hope - The Interactive City Journal

[Need4Camaro 50]

Just to let you guys know, I'm compiling the next update... Also I'm getting lilmanjs and yoshiiisland some more detailed maps for the transit system... I've still recieved requests so I've got to get those compiled aswell...This may take awhile..

[MPTC 0]

CTF you will receive my response and possible counter offer by tommarrow

[lilmanjs 2]

hey I was wondering if I could get a house in my town of Tuckaway.

[Jazzmaster 716]

Hey there, Need4Camaro.  Me and lilmanjs are requesting you use the FBC Bus Lots in your CJ, mainly for Tuckaway Transport.  Is that all right?
-Yoshiisland

[iamihop11 19]

Two quick reminders for everyone:

First, keep in mind that to make things easier for need4camaro to organize this cj, you can email you project proposals and/or questions to bluehopecj@yahoo.com.

Second, anyone interested can now join the Schop Institute Director's Panel. You would be able to help decide how this non-profit Newark group spends its points for the betterment and beautification of the region. Also, point donations are always welcome. If we keep getting enough donations, the SI will help individual developers pay for building parks in their projects.

Help this CJ to keep growing; spread the word!

Thanks guys.

I'll join the schop institute Board of dirrectors

[Need4Camaro 50]

ObladiOblada - 10 Points Donated and will be displayed this update...

e350tb - Coming up this update..

jacqulina - Thanks, and yes development here is outstanding! They're definately keeping me busy!

abcvs - I can't sell government biuldings, you CAN live nearby and work there however...I'll need you to be alittle more specific about which condo though, just mark it on the image... You've been added to the City Journal and will begin with 30 Points...

CTF - I'll have a map for you to choose where you desire to place your pumps, this update... Just to let you know, global village absolutely MUST have water to develop or survive or the hotel will abandon...

iamihop11 - Coming right up,also for schop institute's request... Would you like to just biuld a park there as a place holder? maybe have a small trail there?

lilmanjs - The best place to start the transit system would most likely be downtown... Thats the area with the most traffic of course. But I have maps coming up for you to decide...And yes, you CAN have a personal house in Tuckaway, just choose one when they're all developed... you don't have to worry about paying for anything as it's already been payed for.

MPTC - Very well, since Houston Fan wants to expand it as a tollroad to Highway 6, you can choose to partner with him, or choose to extend it westward and Houston Fan can make an alternative tollroad, northward to Highway 6...

Yoshiisland - Yes, use of Bats are fine with me.

________________________________________________

Okay, before I continue with the update I wanted to appoligize for the extremely long delay... I've been working on my mother's website, you can see it here.. http://www.showcasedesignproperty.com ... I'm also working on a MAJOR project for the city journal... I'll give you a small hint, that it does involve the city journal gaining its own website... And I've been tied up with registering for college for the next semester but since thats all out the way... lets begin...

___________________________________

I had alot of requests for quotes and since this forum seems to have issues with tables... I am going to post both the score AND your quotes AFTER this update...

First thing's first... I wanted to present Yoshiiisland his deed for the Newark Powerplant and wish him once again a job well done...

Powerplant
Current Usage	66%
Style	Coal
Tiles	36
Megawatts	45,000
Expenses
Monthly Cost	8,100
Income
CJ Monthly Income	10,125
Minimum Monthly Income	30,375

Congratulations Yoshiisland, your hard work will put you in the lead with flying colors...

---

Second off I wanted to THANK iamihop11 for his generious help and he will be awarded an additional 50 Points for helping me with this CJ... I'll post everyones score AFTER the update...

---

Alright, First lets grant CTF with a grid in which he can use to place his pumps to water those western developments!

CTF, Choose a grid interlock and we'll get you some photo's of the area so you can place your pumps...

_____________________________________________

Second, 2nerdy4u desired to see the area around linaton for exapansion purposes...

Choose within the grid, let me know what area you're interested in, here's a few more photo's of the surrounding area...

Just west of Linaton...

Just south of Linaton on the other bank of the Oconee River in Millidgeville...

______________________________________

Most of this portion of the update is going to be dedicated to the Tuckaway Transportation Group so I'll begin by submitting some maps...

An overview of Newarks road and rail system... the portions highlighted/surrounded by Yellow are the areas that require the most attention...

This map covers the entire transportation system in Newark, both road and rails... You can use this map to see highways that are in yellow or red... Check this and if you're interested in an area, then mark the area you're interested in on the map and post it back here and I'll give you closer photo's...

An area you might be interested in... This is Highway 35 of South Island ... as we can see it's only one lane each way out here however provides the only exit out of South Island (which is tolled) and suffers from congestion...

Traffic Counts (the max for roads is 5,000 before congestion occurs)

Things ease up on the approach of the Union 93 Propaganda Bridge... The Bridge can support FAR more traffic than the surface roads...

Moving into Downtown from the Bridge...

NorthBound Hwy 35 In Downtown

Southbound Hwy 35 in Downtown...

Downtown could use some mass transportation for these routes... While the avenue is far from overcrowded, it can be alittle messy during rushhour due to closer traffic lights in downtown.

Highway 35 and the Exit 8 Interchange for the East/West connector... This junction is very busy. The road just west (we're looking northeast) that merges onto the offramp also has a high traffic count, between 4,000 - 5,000 cars...

North of the East/West connector... This is a busy intersection between this road and highway 35... The MAJORITY of the traffic here commutes from South Island...

The Highway 202 Corridoor is facing congestion, mostly from the Highway 6 intersection into the point where the cosigned highways meet Highway 35...  202 was originally biult as a bypass but for obviuous reasons is now obsolete... There is question as to whether 202 should be upgraded into an Avenue, or rebiult completely as a tollway bypass from the East/West Connector at Exit 6 into Hwy 2... I would eagerly allow a company here to biuld the tollroad / turnpke whatever you wish to call it...

This is just a proposal, there are no plans set in stone... You can change, modify, inquiry, or simply draw a new route if you desire... 

These are the sectors along Hwy 2 and 202 facing the most traffic problems...

Further South, Hwy 202 is preparing to face congestion so mass transportation out here would not harm anything.

Hwy 202 in the industrial sector...

Hwy 202 is more calm towards Hwy 2 however traffic spites do occur occasionally.

Hwy 2 from Linaton into Downtown...

The service road for the Seaport which eventually turns into Highway 4 after passing through Highway 35, east of here (we're looking NorthWest)

_______________________________________________

Houston Fan desired to inquire about the extension of Lantia Parkway North into Hwy 6 as a tollway... 

Well Houston Fan, you CAN extend the highway North but you'll need to get permission from MPTC before it can be called Lantia Parkway, that or you will need to set up a plan with him in which you both can agree upon... You CAN create a seperate road that moves North as a tollway and have it intersect or terminate at Lantia Parkway...  Or if you're interested, you can help me with the Highway 202 Tollway proposal.

There's no other roads to intersect during its course...

Lantia Pkwy Extension
Total Tiles to Hwy 6	43
Road Cost Per Tile	0.2
Avenue/RHW Cost Per Tile	0.5
Cost for Exit Ramps	0.2
Cost for Tolls	5
Extension as Road	29.4
Extension as Expressway	41.5
Income
Road	12.9
Expressway	64.5
CJ Monthly Income
Road	-16.5
Expressway	23

The Road will net you losses per month rather than income until the tolls start kicking in because of the high price for the toll booth and the low income that the road provides...

The Highway on the otherhand will net you some income, and much more when the tolls start accumulating...

Did I miss anyone's request?

[CTF 0]

Thanks Need4Camaro, I think i'll go with section G2, to save time you can put the pump anywhere in the sector as long as the pumps powered. That pump will provide water to Tuckaway. For Global Village I would like to place a pump on the island if possible and okay with ObladiOblada. Could you please give me the costs?

It was a long wait but it is your journal so..... Of course you more then made up for it with the anouncement of our own site, good job.

[Need4Camaro 50]

Here you go CTF

Cost Per Tile	2.0
Income Per Tile	2.0
Maximum Capacity	20,000.0
Cost Per Pump	26.7
Plants desired to Purchase	2.0
Total Cost	53.3
Income Per Pump	20.0
Income for 2 Pumps	40.0
Minimum Monthly Income	120.0
Monthly Income	66.7

For the Island, you CAN biuld a pump there however as the island fills it will become undesirable, perhaps it will be placed best on mainland and use a neighbor deal?

[CTF 0]

Alright I'll just have the two pumps put in G2, as said anywhere there is good as long as they have power. This post should also cover the last .3 points I need......

[Need4Camaro 50]

Yup, I'll be placing them now!

[CTF 0]

Alright thanks Need4Camaro, the water from both pumps should be more then enough for both Tuckaway and Global Village.

MPTC, with the points I gain next month I can build a pump for you, just give me your terms.

[2nerdy4u 1]

Wow. Great update. Thanks. Good to see they're using my bridge

As for Linaton, B4 looks good.

And great work also goes to Yoshiisland for his BAT. 22k points per month is really impressive. You could maybe buy downtown with that much!

[e350tb 0]

I'll buy the land, demolish the buildings and build my company HQ, employing 199, adding a privately owned bus-stop which the public can use.

The project is called Brittania Holdings HQ Square. The HQ will be the landmark, Smith Tower.

If there is still room, and I have the money, I will build an consumer relations office.

[Need4Camaro 50]

CTF - Okay, here's what I did... You water company had 18 points in it, so I combined it with your points to deduct the cost of the pumps, Newark Water Company now has 0 Points, and you have 18.7 Points remaining...

2nerdy4u - They kind of don't have much choice but to use your bridge...  But it is doing great so far. Your request is following...

e350tb - Very well! You'll see your request in the next update!

___________________________________________

First I want to present CTF, the holder of the Newark Water Company, with his deed... 

Congratulations on your purchase and may it serve you well!...

Second, to satisfy 2nerdy4u's request...

Without Description for easy planning

With Information

_______________________________________________________

Now... lets have a look around Newark to see whats going on...

Click for full size

Click for full size...

There's plenty of developments going on in the Newark, if you desire to see one, simply ask! 

The west is booming currently so lets have a look at it...

Now, I'll begin with the addition of water pumps in the Lantia / Tuckaway area...

...Water pumps from the Newark Water Company, owned by CTF biult and located right off of Highway 2 near the coast line...

These pumps provide water to...

Tuckaway (but not Lantia) and...

Global Village...

With the recent addition of water, these cities have entered a more proper growth cycle as you're about to see...

Tuckaway, with the addition of water and extreme convinience has developed high class businesses aswell as continues to attract a wealthy crowd..

... The development still continues in Tuckaway, un hamphered...

Global Village's development began aswell... the unique thing about this town is its hotel and an investor who has a vision for the island seeing as though a hotel of this calipre was biult on a empty island...

But it didn't take long for the upperclass to find this entity, and when they did, old businesses began shutting down and they soon became converted into Higher Wealth complexes!

And then not long after, the boom occured...

Global Village continues to grow to this date, there are expansion projects in que from the developer who invested in this land so stay tuned!

Lantia Park, despite the lack of water, continues to grow vigorously! Most of the vacant lots have been filled up. Many investors can't wait for Lantia to get water!

[e350tb 0]

Thanks.

[ObladiOblada 1]

great update! development at global village is really nice.

Iamishop11 I would like to join the directors board of schoop institute

[KingTitan 6]

Looking awesome friend.....You have givin me some awesome ideas.

[iamihop11 19]

Current Schop Institute (SI) Director's Panel:
ObladiOblada
MPTC
2nerdy4u
iamihop11

I'm capping the panel at seven, so I'll take three more volunteers to be in charge of this environmental watchdog non-profit. As a director you'd help us decide how to spend the SI's points to build parks and preserve Newark's green spaces.

For the current members, the SI has an opportunity to preserve this green area, which might be called Old Tower Park:


I propose that we keep the tower and put in trails through the area. Ponder this, and when we get 7 members, we'll vote. Also, if you find places that look like they should be greener, email your ideas to bluehopecj@yahoo.com and post them here.

For any developers, if you want help paying for parklands, email to the same place. Thanks

[Need4Camaro 50]

e350tb - Okay, due to your development requests of demolishing all the commercial biuldings in the plaza, (I didn't know that at first) terms have changed dramatically... ...Look over your new quote and tell me if you want to confirm the construction... If you do then I will deduct points... and then proceed about biulding

ObladiOblada - Thanks!

KingTitan - Great to know that I'm sharing knowledge... Just for alittle lore, mind telling me what ideas I gave you?

iamihop11 - Thanks for the list and keep me posted..

_________________________________

For this small update... FIRST...

I'm going to congratulate and thank 2nerdy4u for being the FIRST to email his request! You recieve an additional 20 Points!!! 

While we're on subject, let me cover his request for the Linaton Expansion...

As I stated before, your income goes way down because now you have no employees and you'll be starting from scratch... In October I will compile all your employees (aswell as the rest of the developments) into your next payment plan for november in which if the Smith Tower allows employee's, your income will be MUCH greater... ...Would you like to proceed with the development?

[lilmanjs 2]

could I put in some more residental areas. you could just expand from the current one to make it larger. and maybe I could use some medium industry put a little farther away from tuckaway and call it the shain industral park.

[CTF 0]

I would like to transfer all my points from the GNAD to the NWC please.

2nerdy4u has also asked me about a water deal so may I please have another grid showing the area around Linaton?

[lilmanjs 2]

could I get some close up shots of highway 202 please? Tuckaway Transportation Systems is thinking of making Highway 202 a lot better.
