un1 - Greenbean418 developed Greenville.. ..Taking grid photos is a bit more in debth than the over view image of the map. The images I posted were all from actual in game shots... ..even the overview of the map was collected from the highest zoom level and put together as a giant image map piece by piece.. ..of course if you're still willing then I'll definately add you in

[un1 41]

mapmaker89 I have 559 points... I have been an estimator for 1 month and 2 days... I think I will actually take region shots instead...

[Need4Camaro 50]

un1 - Those accumulate monthly, not Bi-Weekly.  But it is good you reminded me because I need to send him the updated database of employees. You can be both an Estimator and an Region Shot guy. We just need to coordinate you and iamihop11...

[chriss 28]

Are South Island Electric Rail assets (i.e. my assets) generating no points yet?

[Need4Camaro 50]

Evillions - I also need to know where your development is located (what Parcel and Grid) before I can biuld it. Also I won't beable to give you your own powerplant yet as they're too expensive. You only started with 30 Points. I CAN however connect you to the city power for no cost...

[un1 41]

I'll take all the region shots you need... Reminding you is that they have extreme quality!!

[mapmaker89 1]

Please do send me that, N4C. I will be looking for it for the next score update.

Good luck with the region shots, un1. Will you still be estimating as well?

Great job so far everybody, on everything.

Peace,

-map

[un1 41]

Yeah, I'll still be estimating... Also, taking region shots... Here's some samples:

Can I get an estimate?

It's OK if you guys are busy, I can wait, I was just making sure I wasn't forgotten.

I would like to propose a new toll road project for the northeastern section of the region:

http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/9489/regiontransit11wj2.jpg>

LEGEND:

Blue lines: toll roads

Black lines: new arterials

Green circles: interchanges

Yellow dashes: mainlane toll plazas

The segment marked "Phase 1" will be built first, with stub ramps at the fifth interchange north. The toll road will accept cash as payment, as well. PS: I made some edits to the planned project (added 2 new interchanges, and extended Phase 1 to the fifth interchange north)

Planned toll prices (in US Dollars):

Interchange #1 (Highway 25): free - no tolls

Interchange #2: $.50 for NB offramp and SB onramp cash; $.45 tag

Interchange #3: $.75 for NB offramp and SB offramp cash; $.65 tag

Mainlane Toll Plaza (yellow line): $1.50 cash, $1.25 tag

Interchange #4 $.50 for SB offramp and NB onramp cash; $.45 tag

(Phase 1 extended to interchange 5) Interchange #5: future tolls on SB offramp and NB onramp when Phase 2 is built (NB offramp and SB onramp in phase one, with no overpass)

In addition, I am proposing an oil drilling operation near interchange #1.

Note that I'm not sure about the Vernon Highway development now.

[un1 41]

Houston_Fan... Your link doesn't work... Never mind... I see it. I like that pan though.

deathopumkins: What estimate?? 

I am planning a development... I finnished it:

Parcel 20; E2: River Seed Development (By: un1)

I also made a deed... Even though my village isn't official I was bored and I made this:

This deed is only fuctional if the development is official...

[deathtopumpkins 43]

On pg. 47 I posted a plan for a development. That is how it works, right? I was asking for one too.

And Houston_Fan, can I be a part of that, as it goes right through my proposed development, and something similar was in my long-term plans anyway.

[kj3400 178]

Houston_Fan- This wouldn't go through my development would it?

[Evillions 552]

Need4Camaro- Just take out the power plant and give me the power lines.

I chose parcel 20 grid D6.

[FreewayofFlight 41]

Need 4 Camero- Highway 504 will be free, if traffic becomes congested, Hwy 504 may likely be tolled. Also, will there be land set aside for the possible additon of rail services?

[un1 41]

deathopumkins,

Here you go... Your deed for Oconee Village Phase 1:

By: un1

Some more will be coming soon...

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Thanks un1!

It looks like I predicted the cost right on the nose.

This is exciting... my first development! (sorry, just a little excited)

[Evillions 552]

Un1 how much towns or developments you made so far? Cause you sure have a lot of points.

Need4Camaro- Does each post gives you 1 point more? Because I have post 3 on this CJ. So I should have 33 points now. Your idea in this CJ is very fun. Gives others what they have in mind for city plannig. Great Idea!

[Deionn 137]

Nice. I would like to propose a new subway that connects the Mainland and South Island it will consist of two stations and two trams one going one way and the other going opposite. I would like one of the stations to be downtown.

The cost to ride the tram would be $0.75 and the cost for a monthly "Breeze" pass would be $35.00 The city gets 1/4 of the profits turned in and counted by the system. It will benefit businesses; promote modern times; bring in profits; make life easier; and also help air pollution! Another 1/4 goes to system upkeep and the rest goes towards my company and future projects.

Deal?

[un1 41]

Evillions: No I don't even have one that is made... I have a job though and one of them gives me 500 points a month and the other gives me 1,600 points a month (I think). 1 post = 1 point. If you spam you won't get a point...

deion30296: I love that idea!! I hope it works out for you...

Greenbean418: I have finished the deed for Greenville... It will come later today...

South Island Electric Rail Company

Phase II

The South Island Electric Rail Company is please to announce plans for Phase II expansion of its light rail operations on South Island.  Phase II will bring to South Island further mass transit improvements as well as other necessary services both for customers and the company.  Broadly, Phase II will seek to implement three things: 1)A redesign of Central Square 2) The construction of A Line, the first of three branches on the island and 3) Service Yard for SIERC trains.

Plans

1. Central Square Redevelopment

The New Central Square

Central Square is just that, the central commercial and transit hub of South Island.  As such, SEIRC has determined it would be best to have its three island branches meet at Central Square.  The development will also add new commercial lots, a redesign of the road systems for better efficiency, and two SEIRC stops.

1. The existing Central Square Station will be demolished and replaced with one where the Red Square is located.  Parking there shall be converted to light commercial.

2. The yellow Square indicates a second station on the A Line branch.  The A Line will continue as GLR-in-Ave to the University

3. The laying of track for future Phases that will create the B and C line branches.

4. 4 Lots of medium commercial, to ensure variety of services in the square and maximize building density--no Spa centers here!

2. A Line Overview

A Line Overview

1. The A Line will continue in GLR-in-Ave all the way to near the University.  This is represented by the thin purple line (GLR) in the red line (Avenue).  There shall be three stops built at this time with others possible as the island develops more.

2. The Three stop should be directly next to cross streets/roads.  One cross street, marked by gray line, will get an extension connecting it to the suburban development to its south.

2. After crossing Route 35 and nearing the university, the A Line shall separate from the Avenue and turn east, running along the norther edge of the avenue north of the University, then along the southern edge of the road that is Route 35. From there it will have 2 stops in the small development in Parcel 22.

3. Close-up Along Route 35

Around the Water Tower

1. The GLR will continue to abut Route 35 until the water tower, where it will extend two tiles further and then continue parallel to Route 35, turning again and being adjacent to Route 35.

4. Eastern Stops

The A Line's Last two Stops

1. The A line will continue on the south side of Route 35, with two additional stops, marked in yellow squares.

5. Service Yard/Line Termination

Land for the Train Service Yard

1. This shall be the situs of the SEIRC Train service yard, maintaining and housing the Tram cars for the entire rail system.

2. The Tram yard shall be the one found on the STEX at https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=332 (VDK Swan Mill Tramdepot BSC).  This is a 6x12 Lot, so the roads and GLR will need to be worked to allow for this lot to be placed

chriss: That is what I call> Wow!!!

Greenbean418 here is your deed for Greenville:

There you go...

[deathtopumpkins 43]

I have one question about Oconee Village. Would it be easy to run city power out to it?

If so, please do it, but if not, I'd be happy to pay for one of these to generate power.

[un1 41]

What are "these"?? It won't let me disply it...

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Me and Houston_Fan are partnering on his new tollway project.

un1, it's a geothermal power plant made by peg. The link works for me, and I'm pretty sure you don't have to be logged in to download things.

Try this:

www.simpeg.com

Click "THE PLEX", scroll down, click the PEG MTP folder, and it's the first item listed. Click "View" adn it gives you a download link.

Or here's a direct link to the download:

[un1 41]

You didn't double post...

What are "these"??

[Need4Camaro 50]

Whoa.. ..miss a day and come back to find a full house!

deathtopumpkins - Incredible I completely missed yours.. I'm really sorry ..I'll start on it first...

un1 - Okay - I'll begin your request... .I've updated the Calculator and will post it shortly

mapmaker89 - I've updated the Calculator... the new one is MUCH more efficient...

Houston_Fan - I'll quote that for you.. ..what standards will it be biult upon? Median Size? ect? Will Highway 125 Toll work?

kj3400 - It would come very close to it.. ..likely to replace the road west of your development.

Evillions - Cool I'll begin immediately...and yes each post gives you 1 point.. ...I'll address that... and thanks

deion30296 -  Nice idea but unless you propose a Monorail instead I would suggest making an deal with Chriss as he already has plans to connect a light rail service between South Island and Downtown Newark. 

chriss - Whoa thats nice Um can you tell me what grid area you want central square to be located?...
________________________________________________

Benedict and Chriss I am calculating your deeds with the new calculator and will report back to you with new deeds.

Expect a very large update within the near future... ... Tons of requests to fullfill and proposals to request.

[un1 41]

Good, the new caculator!!

[deathtopumpkins 43]

As I was typing, you posted, so until I posted it I thought I was double posting.
