The City of Kitchener

[the1ref 0]

Welcome to Kitchener.  This is my first attempt at a City Journal here with Simtropolis.  I have been a part of this for quite awhile and decided that I would give it a go.  This whole process started when I decided that I wanted to put in a bid for this years Simlympics.  Although I did not get the nod I am continuing on with my City with the hopes that maybe, just maybe, Kitchener will be worthy of hosting the Simlympics in the future.  Here we go:

Future Updates to Follow!

Kitchener International Airport

Kitchener is currently ramping up for hosting of a future Simlympics and have recently accquired over $420 Million USNA Dollars in Private funding as well as $180 Million in federal and sector funding for venues and infrastructure. Kitchener Regional Airport is fully functional (above picture) and will be used for additional flights after Kitchener International Airport (K.I.A.) and Transportation Hub is completed. Below you will find several updates to K.I.A. including the New Terminal and Parking Areas, K.I.A. Monorail and stations, Regional Jet Services and Cargo Section.

Due to ongoing construction at K.I.A., the airport is not currently open to passenger travel.  Kitchener Regional Airport is continuing to handle all carriers for passenger service in and out of the Kitchener region.  Once completed K.I.A. will host 12 regional / sector carriers (4 International with additional room for 2).  At present K.I.A. is equipped to handle any emergency situation that should arrise in our area.  K.I.A. is currently open in regards to all private aviation and several Cargo Centers are currently operating.

K.I.A. is the major regional facility for all special handling materials and mail for the Northeast Sector of the USNA.  Current capacity allows the K.I.A. facility to handle over 43 tons each day through both land and air.

Kitchener bosts the newest state of the art facility at K.I.A. for repairs to all types of Commercial Aircraft.  A joint venture with Airbus International and Boeing at K.I.A. will allow the latest (and future) technology.  Opening Soon:  Kitchener Aircraft Mobility and Service School.

Kitchener is currently accepting bids for additional Cargo Carriers to fill two additional vacant positions at K.I.A.  If interested please contact Mr. Schnieder at (999) 321-5555.  An additional web page will be linked to the K.I.A. official site in the near future.  Please check back soon.

Simlympic Bid

Located just to the South of K.I.A. is the new Simlympic Venue and Housing sites. Additional sites will be posted shortly as pictures are developed!

(Sorry about the water...I wanted to show you how far I've come:c)

It has been a hustle and a bustle around the city of Kitchener lately as they continue preparations for their bid to host the Simlypics. 

"Things are going smoothly around the city as we continue construction," Mayor Daddio stated this morning during his daily press conference. Official photos have now been released for the latest updates on Kitcheners progress.

The Simlympic International Broadcast Center (SIBC) is ready to host this years Simlympics. With room for over 10,000 media credentials in the SIBC, all broadcasts throughout the globe will comence from this state of the art facility. 

Located in the picture directly below is the East Kitchener Transportation Hub (EKTH). Due to recent security issues throughout the world Kitchener has made travel throughout the Simlypic Venues accessible only via Monorail, Buslines and Subways. Each of these have Hubs that are outside of the venues in order to provide security screening prior to accessing the main routes within the venues. 

Additional pictures will become available within the next couple of days that detail the transportation network. There are no roads that will be accessed by traffic from outside of the security zone. Roads that you see currently are only accessible within the main venue routes.

The EKTH is the main parking area to the East  and South Venues that serves as main parking for the Simlypic Stadium, Baseball / Softball, Cricket, Football (Soccer) and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Keep in mind that all venues will be accessible via all transportation hubs.

The main Simlypic Stadium is nearing completion. Please note the Monorail Hub and Subway and Bus Hubs for transportation needs. This location will be the site of Opening and Closing Ceremonies as well as Track and Field Events.

Here is an overview for the South Simlympic Venues.  Sites include Softball, which has one main stadium and two practice facilities. Baseball has two facilities for both games and practice. Located to the South is Smithson Stadium, host of Cricket and Soccer. Practice facilities are just to the East with one additional Soccer Stadium to be built.

Smithson Stadium holds 24,320 people for Simlympic Soccer events and 19,870 people for Cricket events.

Well that is it for now.  Stay tuned as for updates on Swimming and Diving Venues as well as Tennis, Golf, Volleyball and Indoor Events.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Truly coming along nicely. A fine improvement.

[Rictiovarus 1]

Truly fantastic. Well Simcity'd and well 'shopped. Though, putting multiple screenshots on one image limits what can be seen a bit, espoecially if you don't use the full 800x600 allowed.

Other than that, your facilities are really good!
