Entry no.25 - The Suburbs of Dresden

TakemeThere

4,219 Views

As seen from the last entry, my CJ can be quite heavy on the dialog at times. Not that I think that's a bad thing, but it's good to take a break sometimes. Also while the focus of the CJ is on infrastructure and transportation, that is not all that encompasses Pretoria :)

Dresden has probably the largest suburban population of any of my cities. Here's some views of those suburbs up close, specifically the neighborhood of Orchard Heights;

One of my favorite parts of the suburbs is where the Hardack hydro corridor cuts through it;

A glimpse of some of the highway and railway interchanges across the city;

And lastly moving on to my favorite suburban area of the city.
The community of Woodside is located in southwestern Dresden and the part I like most is the very center of it where 3 rail corridors and  highway 702 squeeze through;

As you can tell there's been a noticeable lack of weed trimming along the joint South Shore-Farham rail corridor. Only small spots are trimmed by the highway light towers to maintain access to them.

Here we catch Hallmarks high-speed regional train speeding southbound through the area at 265kph towards Cape Cardinal on Fastraxx's South Shore line.

A teaser for some of the next entries which will deal with Industry and Transportation;

I haven't decided yet, though it'll probably come down to which one I complete first :)

Your CJ is always something I would look forward to whenever I wanted to look at your handiwork with transportation. It gives me ideas for my works as well! I get excited whenever you update your CJ with a new entry from your region! :)

Awesome new entry! You know it's something great when you can spend hours oogling at all the pictures. :P 

 

And I like how there's a Reagan-Bush billboard in the last picture. :D Reagan was great president IMO.

Evidently the people of Pretoria think so as well! :thumb:

Thanks! I think you'll enjoy the next few updates quite a bit then.And it makes me happy that I can inspire others with my work.
It looks like your doing some pretty cool things as well with you networks judging from what you've posted in the SC4 City-Building Concepts forum.
