The Capital Central Business District.

In my Previous Update, we covered North BluePort which primarily served as a dense residential peninsula coated with shopping plaza's here and there and a large mall, but for the most part it remains a dense upper class area.

Today I will cover the prime of BluePort, the Central Business District, and being the financial capital of the island it has nothing less than a stunning skyline littered with banks and monopolies attempting to gain control of the island. Infact you could say, the beauty behind it, is the beast.

Pictured above is the skyline of which makes for the capital city, Blue Port. We are looking due North and the highway that follows the coast to the west is I-B101 which leads northward to SR 808 as soon in the North BluePort update earlier. The suspension bridge coming from the west heading due east is SR 805 as it cuts North and South just south east of Downtown.to go toward North BluePort.

Interstate B101 just Northwest of Downtown follows the bank of the peninsula, There's a small strip of land occupied by an avenue just to the west of I-B101 which for the entire length of the central BluePort runs parallel with the coast providing access to several condominiums and high rises, as well as a small seaport which provides industrial access to BluePort's inland.

Just west of Downtown we are left off to the Harbor which provides access for goods to enter the state. Aside from the exit to the north, I-B101 for the most part diverts around it and provides access to I-B2 which provides eastbound access into BluePort and the remaining chamber of commerce and the rest of the Island.

Further south, just west of downtown, the harbor to the west approaching the interchange for SR-808 which is toll-free upon this section and provides outer access to the downtown district before proceeding to the Tri-cities turnpike.

I-B101 interchanging SR-808 via dual trumpet interchanges due to space constrictions of the heavily developed area.

Further south the interstate proceeds away from the Downtown district towards southern BluePort and toward its terminus much further south at I-B1.

I do appoligize for not being as descriptive as normal but time is very very short for me as I am often multi-tasking 90% of the day, and even now I am typing this from work as I really want to continue this city journal and for Blue Hope to grow. If any of you are interested in joining, please do not hesitate, I will provide edit access to user's who desire to contribute, allowing them to show their CJ in this thread contributed to Blue Hope.

Hope you've enjoyed.
