I was working on my other CJ and I decided to play around with another region:

CapitalCity-Sep7081247529567.png

A new suburban area

Some trees added

buildings being filled in.

The highway goes under one of the more developed areas.

And comes out by the suburbs

El-rail, ground rail, and subway all connected here.

Some high-rises

Thats a nice little city you have made there. Its elevated rail looks very intricate.

And the suburbs look quite nice with the trees in there.

Just a reminder too keep your images at 800x600, they were 640 high, so I resized them for you.

Other than that, its a very nice start 4.gif

I like how you have that suburb but I would put a main road through the middle of it that connects that avenue you have to that road to the south of it. It will help to increase the commute speed. Nice name for your city journal lol

    Nice Pics! The problem that i have with my citys is the fine gradient that is needed between High rises and suburbs. Otherwise i go crazy and dont bother making a city.

    I totally agree, one other thing that annoys me is the scale of the low density Commercial, it's too large to me...

    Shaylan221: yea, I have downloaded a few new buildings recently...

    jacqulina: Thanks you very much.

    Deathcat001: Thank you.

    Twenty20: Thank you very much.

    There is another new financial area being set up at the same time as Capital city (of the old posts) but down in the south corner...

    But the engineers of this new city have made a huge discovery, they discovered a way to incorporate Highway traffic and subway trains. Safely!?!

    By using the boston big dig mod I have found a way to connect road to highway to subway to El-rail to train!

    This is a shorter update, only 5 pics. I will show the development later...

    Bayveiw-Aug13151247862612.png

    These highways are connected using the boston big dig mod, it uses subways to connect them together...

    Bayveiw-Apr23191247862725.png

    Here I made an underground four way intersection using subways...

    Bayveiw-Jan15241247863316.png

    The main artery that comes from off the screen is the highway... I connected it so some subways...

    Bayveiw-Jan15241247863638.png

    Here you can see the start of a El-rail connection...

    As you have seen this is more like a short teaser update...

    I hope you enjoy, I really like the way the transit system is shaping up for Bayveiw, we'll see though

    okay, so I've decided to post a little about the El-rail, subway and Boston Big dig system now:

    Bayveiw-Jul121031247945493.png

    There was too much traffic on the original rail so i decided to create a second next to it...

    Bayveiw-Aug21031247945506.png

    The rail lines running next to eachother...

    Bayveiw-Aug221031247945519.png

    Here is the major intersection where most of the residential gets into the financial districts...

    Bayveiw-Dec81031247945550.png

    the traffic for the rail on the right is 6810

    The one on the left is 2241

    The road has traffic at 3527

    Bayveiw-Jun191041247945602.png

    Here is where the two original rail lines meet again...

    Bayveiw-Jul181041247945617.png

    A major El-Rail intersection...

    Bayveiw-Feb111051247945727.png

    Here is an overveiw of the El-rail system, there is a proposed Central park in the area enclosed by El-rail...

    Bayveiw-Feb131061247945856.png

    Here is an overveiw of the Subway system...

    And now we'll take a look at how the Boston Big Dig project works:

    Bayveiw-Mar91061247945891.png

    Here the cars are entering from the suburbs...

    Bayveiw-Apr271061247945907.png

    Here you can see that the cars transfer to subway at the "Big Dig"

    Well, that's it for this update...

    Hope you enjoyed, please comment.

    So that's how it works. A highway to subway transfer. Always wondered how on earth those tunnels worked.

    and even though my name means 'old' I'm really quite pimp,
    I'm Archilicious.
