Toronto

[gosling2003 0]

Some of you may already know that my previous Toronto CJ accidentally got deleted. So, I am here again, restarting Toronto again, more accurate than ever.

And for those just realising that i previously did a Toronto CJ, don't think about it too much.

 

Anyways, here are some pics of what i have done so far with the New CJ.  I give credit to anyone who sees their work in this CJ.

First Comment!

I like the downtown a lot.
The last pic was my favorite.

Do you mind if I ask where you got the black buildings and the light-greenish-tealish buildings? Those look awesome.

I hope this CJ thrives. w00t!

I'm from the TO area and I must say that is a very acurate representation.

Very nice start

[Nenitosoyyo 19]

I've always wanted to go to Toronto but never have the time, and I pretty close too(Winnipeg). I guess this CJ will be my trip to Toronto. And good job so far, looks great.

This is just to show viewers of future road planning.

One question for people though, can a person living near Steeles go Downtown to commute (Steeles > City > City > Downtown) in Sim City?

 

Development Update Mid Week.

[sirgeoj2 1]

Looking good!! That sux about your previous Toronto, but like you said, this will be better than ever!

Great Job btw, used to live in Toronto myself, West Finch

Sorry for the Double Post.
I have a Map, and Google Earth Helps.  And welcome to Simtropolis!

You've done a great job so far and it looks very accurate, but how are you going to recreate the 100000000 lane wide 401 and the healthy blanket of smog?

[sloppet 3]

nice work!! very good pics!

It's 12 lanes most of the way, so im working on that. But I don't know what to do about the Smog.

Wow this is going to be great    good work so far!!!

[rooker1 4]

Sorry about your other Toronto, but this one looks great. I can't wait for more pics.

[noname1029 0]

im from toronto... and this sc version looks great!  i don't like the real version though lol

[AddisonWesley 2]

Aha, I see you've put in Osgoode Hall.  Good work, keep it up!

Once mister 6(a lot more numbers) uploads his great BAT work, this will be an even better recreation.

[tambouri 1]

This looks great. I particularly like the city hall and Nathan Philips Square. I have often stayed at the Sheriden Centre across the street for conventions and parked underneath the city hall. If I could move in close would I see the Henry Moore?

[hyped_up_boy 15]

very nice representation of Toronto.  looks very accurate.  although i've seen toronto in pictures, and i don't think there are 2 of the greenish towers in the financial district, although i could be wrong.  good work; keep it up

[gosling2003 0]

I just used the other greenish tower to represent the Bay Wellington Tower.

I am sorry for the very slow progress, but i don't have much time because of school.

Here is a Trans. & Sattelite map update.





Thanks for Reading,

Great work so far. This seems to be one of the best represntations of Toronto right now on Simtropolis. And being from Ontario i just want to say keep up the great work. I do have a couple of questions/comments for you.

 

1) How are you going to build the 401/427/27/Eglinton Ave Interchange (near the airport)?

 

2) Can i see your subway view (assuming you have added it). It would be neat to see the Yonge-University Line, as well as the other 3 lines in Toronto.

[sloppet 3]

nice work so far! Keep it up!

[Fabiocb 1]

quite nice so  far I like the details you made to make it looks like real TO.

 

keep up on the good work

Ryerson University Collegiate Highschool

Dont know which one.

 

If this is near Bathurst, it is Ryerson Collegiate. Ryerson University is at Younge and Dundas.. or more like Sam the RecordMan.

 

Have you tried my map? I've been laying out the grid on it, but I haven't touched it for a year.. doubt I even have it anymore (maybe on CD somewhere) since I got a new computer. The map seems to be accurate scale, if you make the King and Adelaide 8 grid lines apart... so it fits my Scotia Plaza.

 

Is Roy Thomson Hall released?

 

Oh and Buffalo City Hall Buffalo NY by sargeantcm is close to the Royal York.

[Vigo_Zerox 0]

where did you get those black skyscrapers!!
excellent work!

[gosling2003 0]

MiniMark: I will post a pic of the subway map ASAP. And I plan to use a monstrous load of NAM puzzle pieces to make the 427/401/27/Eglinton Interchange.

Motina: I have tried your map before, and no offence, I didn't like it. Plus, i like the added challenge of terraforming. And thank You for the advice about Buffalo City Hall. I am downloading it as i type.

Vigo_Zerox: On the simcity.com Exchange.

All others not to the exclusion to the previous: Thank you for your comments! They are greatly appreciated.

I am currently not doing much development, I am working my way out to the bluffs and up to the DVP/Eglinton Area in Road development and terraforming. The Leaside bridge and Ashbridge's Bay Area is completed.
