In other News: With the recent voting on Calgary's new devlopment, the proposal has passed! It was close, with 65% voting for and 35% voting against, but the proposal passed, and work will begin Immedietly!
“Gasp! My room, it didn’t have an alarm clock! What? 11:30a already?! How is this possible? I got onto the nearest bus, and after a few changes, I was well on my way to Tavlon, the next village I was visiting. I heard a couple of things about it before; around 1,600 residents, and nestled high up in the hills outside Calgary. I also heard that Tavlon is most notable for its pristine ponds and lakes, given that there are extremely few visible freshwater sources in BrookStone.”
“I went up a windy road and got off at the bus stop of what appeared to be the main street of the town….village, Tavlon could be either.”
“I made my way up to the mayor’s house, where he personally greeted me and invited me in. He proceeded to tell me about how Tavlon is a very mixed town, with a healthy population of everything except for commercial office and agricultural. However, he said that the original industrial park has become too noisy and polluting for many of the citizens, but that they bring in so much of the town’s taxes that he can’t afford to let them go.”
“He told me many of these industries serve the nearby forestry company. He showed me a little map of his future plans near the forestry company:”
This is what the citizens of Tavlon (You!) can vote on! This route serves as one of the two roads that lead out of the town, and for now a section of it is still a gravel street, as opposed to paved road. Its getting heavier traffic now, due to development higher up in the hills, however paving a road would require a more shallow angle of ascent, meaning that upgrading the street would mean changing the route its on, disturbing surrounding wildlife. However, it still remains that this street is getting far more traffic, and has higher maintenance costs because of the extra load.
“After his proposal the Mayor then proceeded to walk with me to the town’s power plant, water tower, and largest pond, Hobs pond. These three are the town’s focal point for tourists.”
“From here I bid my good-bye to the mayor, and walked down to my strangely modern motel in such a small town….oh well.”
“Tommorrow I’m going to keep going along the road, I reckon eventually the buses will turn around, and I believe this city is on the farthest reaches of BrookStone.”
