Changes Across Town
Hello everyone, welcome back to Spring City.
The past year has treated the city (mostly) well. The city's population has grown, and the commercial side of town has grown even more. One new, large, building has been built in downtown, it is the corporate offices of Simdustries, the main industrial employer of town.
But before we get to that...
Here is highway 10 which leads right into town. Traffic on it is pretty terrible, but town planners cannot do too much to improve it. The infrastructure require to improve the highway would be far too costly. However, some plans are being discussed among the city council about building a secondary, bypass, route south of town. 
With that in mind, a new road is being built going north. 
The road is planned to go north past the rail lines. This side of town is expected to be the fastest growing side of town, and so infrastructure is being prepared in advance. 
Here we can see the rail line getting a temporary bypass so that the line can continue to be used during construction.
Here is the finished overpass. The city is attempting to future proof itself when it comes to planned expansion. However, only so much can be done due to monetary limitations and the population rather the money be spent on existing areas than new.
Now, onto downtown. Some of the older buildings have begun to fall apart, water damage, poor upkeep, and poor construction is causing these two buildings on the corner of the road to be demolished and a new building put up.
Here's the new corporate offices of Simdustries. 
Parking space is taking up too much space in town, too. So a small parking garage has been built to accompany the new tower.
So, now we have covered some changes made from the north west side of town, downtown, and now onto the east side of town.
The main industrial base of town is based in the east. Some years ago they faced some extreme hardships with the local economy having a large recession. To keep them in business and from leaving town the city went to them to make a deal. One of the major complaints of the industrial companies was extreme difficulty to exporting goods produced. The road network was not accommodating to the mass of trucks, and the single rail station (pictured below) could not handle the volume.
So, the city has decided to make a huge new station, tripling the capacity.
Now some more minor changes. Along the river a small expansion is being built.
And a new park with the expansion.
And a new school.
Well, that concludes update three! Lots of changes made to town, planning for future expansions, new infrastructure, and a new building in downtown,
Thanks for reading,
Froe
