Chapter XIV: Central Station
Hello fellows, here is a new entry for the Bright City CJ! I resume from where we left with the last one but, as always, let'sstart with your comments.
FEEDBACK CORNER
The Big Z I love the pic of the downtown from the backyard with the patio furniture. Your city is simply awesome.
I reworked again the big guys, not to make contortions but to refine Downtown. I hope that the job done will already be noticed in the pics below!
dedgren I've never been a big fan of city builder dense urbanization- something about scale, maybe- but Hawthorne is eye-catching. I'm looking forward to the next update- might we see a map of just that area, or at least a high direct overhead shot?
I believe that this task has been already fulfilled with the first image of the last chapter, but maybe I did not understand what you actually asked. Please feel free to make a even more precise request!
HAWTHORNE JUNCTION
The last element shown you in the previous entry was the Hawthorne junction, and to share the exact same spot I show you it again this time looking south, ie directly towards the Aurora Central Station and facing downtown.
Immediately downstream to this ovrepass system, with four main tracks that directs to the west, the east and two to the north and that together constitute the main railway junction of the entire city with that of Stonehaven, there is an equally important for the highway known among residents as "The Octopus" which is the first of the three intersections that rides through the city center.
AURORA CENTRAL
Thinking I've illustrated you this complex in details enough, so let's proceed to the next stop: the central station! It is a structure built in art deco style, with ten tracks covered on five arches that can withstand a flow of over forty thousands passengers per day both through metropolitan and regional lines.
But what matters most is the fact that Aurora Central is at the heart of a transit system that includes: a bus lines terminal almost great as the railway station (I'm using it to just one-third of its capacity right now) supported by a depot in the immediate vicinity. Furthermore, just in front of the station exit there is a large metro station that is the connexion point between the two underground lines that links all the Maya Bay neighborhoods.
Last but not least is the large taxi rank. Essentially, from here, at the cost of a ticket people can reach any spot in the city except for some heights, like the Echelon Peak you well know already. The last key piece of the hub is the multistory parking capable of holding more than a thousand vehicles, widely used by locals and tourists to leave their cars and go for the public transport.
But perhaps the most important thing is the glance that anyone has just exiting the station, and in this it can be said that the City of Aurora offers a rather succulent spectacle. The financial district scrapers are just a step away, and the impression of being small before such magnificence is quite palpable!
The last picture of this entry it's for the New Caledonia Regional Council building, located right on the northwest of Aurora Central. Although not among the highest it is certainly one of the most impressive and important of the city skyscrapers. The building you see on the right the one open to the public as it houses the Regional Congress and the offices of the regional advisers.
