Barrio Logan, Logan Heights, and Grant Hill (South San Diego)

Starting off is a picture just above the Coronado Bridge and I-5 junction. Just under the interchange is Chicano Park. It is hard to detail this park as I have only driven on top of it on my way to and from Coronado Island. From what I do know about the park, different murals of important Hispanics (Frida Kahlo, Fidel Castro, and Che Guevara) are painted on the highway structural supports (which was impossible to place in the game).

Picture taken from Logan Heights overlooking the Coronado Bridge and Barrio Logan. The Barrio Logan neighborhood on the bay is primarily consisting of Naval bases and Naval support with companies such as BAE Systems and General Dynamics, additionally 32nd Street Base / Naval Base San Diego is also in the Barrio Logan neighborhood.

There is obviously still work to be done in the Barrio Logan neighborhood. I am reluctant to increase the industrial area because of the negative effects it may cause on its neighbor Logan Heights. I will be searching the DLC of Cities: Skylines for something that could be similar to military structures to instead be placed instead of industry.

So this is where I am at so far. As I stated in the previous post, I am currently locked to the original 9 tiles but once I am able to get the game on a better computer or somehow expand the laptops capacity I will expand past these which will make it possible to construct from the I-5/CA-15 exchange (in the south) up to Mission Valley (to the north). Suggestions always welcome.

Very cool!

 

 

For comparison...

 

How is the scale in C:S?  This is one of the first re-creation attempts that I've seen, so I'm curious how challenging it is to get all the streets right.  Have you had to fudge much?

Definitely had to fudge the neighborhoods a little.  The map itself is not that scaled to the real world and the road placements are altered so there are not as many traffic lights.  I am trying to see how attaching one neighborhood road to the main roads and then having the onramps into the neighborhood (which would be placed according to the real map) would affect traffic.

I looked at SimCoug's comparision and what you laid down so far, it looks really good and pretty similar to the real life road layout of San Diego.
