Welcome To Downtown Crystal Junction!

 

I know a lot of you have been waiting for months now as I slowly developed this regional like a real life growing city. Well now the time as come to show you the young and developing Crystal Junction Skyline, and all its newest skyscrapers.

 

The City is now at a size of about 425,000, large enough that it has an extensive amount of development in downtown, and the surronding area, including the construction of new towers, many new multi-story apartment buildings, new factories, avenues, and parks.

Hope you enjoy the pics, and finally seeing a number of skyscrapers in the downtown area.

What nice pics of your downtown! All those reconstruction projects really paid off, and downtown really spread out. Good job!

[Alakazam 3]

will Crystal Junction add a subway system?

[mattc005 2]

you're city is SO awesome!

Many floks must be loving the region a lot. BTW, those radio towers remind me alot of the mountainous hills that have radio towers in Peru.

[whiteshark365 563]

There are no plans for a subway system to be installed, and with the way the topography of the city is, it will probably be impractical since there would be no way to link the south and the north sides of the city. But an elevated rail is a possiblity, and there will be a monorail system set up since all the major cities will be linked by monorail.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Monorail! Elevated Rail! This just keeps getting better and better!

[cammo2003 20]

It's been a while since I've checked out this journal... looks like it's going well, too!

 

If you ever get stuck for ideas (which I highly doubt) feel free to borrow any ideas from my journal (Ocean Shores/Beach Region).

 

Keep up the great work!

This is the best journal out there, hands down.  At least thats my view of it.

You could have a subway system in the north and south sides of the city, then then elevated train link the two together....

[davidhogan 1]

In my San Diego region I actually use train to link 4 different subway systems.  (Well, two of them got so big they merged, so it's down to 3)

 

Anyway, it works pretty well, sims seem quite willing to switch transit methods if you make it nice and easy.  Plus it'd reduce the amount of monorail you might need to run.  (Just run it between cities, and let the subways feed it.)

 

Edited to add that busses work too, but they're not nearly as fast or cool.

wow Crystal Junction looks better every update

[whiteshark365 563]

City Update 20:

Crystal Junction is now a moderate sized city with just over one half million residents. Downtown is started to quickly grow upward with a definte skyline already developing. Urban srpawl outward continues, even though now it is now more growing outward evenly in all directions. Downtown is where the largest population growth is now centered. Possible plans to extend Freeway 248 are in the works, as well as developing more high density commercial construction in downtown, as well as Sandy Ridge starting to grow as well. Crystal Junction is about one quater complete now.

[The Evil Octopus Man 25]

whiteshark, are you using the teirusu desert terrain modd?  Because whenever I try to use it, my game crashes wehn it's loading the city.

[whiteshark365 563]

Yeah it is the desert mod. I've never had any probs with it.

[Alakazam 3]

... this city became big.......... [:0] [:0]

You should make a full highway loop around the city, and maybe 1 or 2 more freeways to connect to it.
