A different angle for the overview. The city hasn't grown much since the last entry. The city's expansion has mostly decided to go vertical instead of horizontal. Downtown has really blossomed lately, especially with the addition of several new skyscrapers.

With the recent boom and new harbor, much of the city has seen growth, including the commercial sector of downtown.

With the new skyscrapers, downtown has become more prominent in the background of many suburbs, including this one.

However, you can still find those small, quiet places that even the most hardcore street racer enjoys a slow, casual drive at night. Here, downtown is just an afterthought.

With the recent residential and industrial growth near the river, the valleys further inland are a hassle to get to. Right now, the only way to transport goods or to get to one of the major commercial zones other than downtown is to go around the long Huey Hill. As a result, the city has proposed the construction of a new tunnel that will cut the travel time drastically. Construction is expected to begin any day now. The black line shows the proposed path through the mountain.

The plan is to connect the tunnel to this junction. The plan is to expand the current junction, which will result in the destruction of a many homes in the neighborhood at the right of the image.

Next Time – The new tunnel and more.

I hope you've enjoyed the shots in this entry. The tunnel and reconstruction shots will follow in the next few days.
