Paul5: I was considering building a highway as opposed to a 2-lane road, but for the moment my RHW mod is not working, so i'll either have to fix it or use the Maxis highways. For now, Highways are just in the planning stage, but soon to come! Thanks for commenting!

lordmungus: I agree with every point you have there. I too found that the area where the expansion will be is very thin, and have yet not found a solution, because both sides are developed to the shores. As well, an increase in traffic would be pretty undesirable, as that road is already one of the main thouroughfares in the area. All in all, you bring up some good points, ones that I beleive shifted the councils veiws on this new development. I hope you continue to follow my CJ! thanks for commenting!

In other news: The proposal up for the expansion and joining of the two Marina's has been rejected, the main reasons being cited are proximity to opposite shore and a current lack of funds. However, a new one has already entered! Stay tuned to see.

“Today was a cloudy day, and as I got onto the bus the whole world seemed to be getting darker. I was still a bit tired from the last day, so I took a nap on the bus ride to Tavlon. When I got to Tavlon again, it seemed that all the fog cleared! It was once again a sunny day in BrookStone. I heard about a new district up on the Mesa above Tavlon, so I hopped on another bus and took this great road up, which I remember used to be a street.”

“I got to the downtown area, and looked around. This was a very nice new development! There were high-end shops, offices, and nice middle-wealth stores as well! It seems Tavlon is coming along well. I wasn’t to meet the mayor this time, as I was actually supposed to be heading towards a completely new city recently established south of Valencia, but I thought that I would check out new developments here, and they were stunning!”

”I even checked out a new industrial district, built because of the greater production of logs in the area.”

“I went down the road farther, and there were even houses right up near the city lines.”

“I thought of how much development there was, and then it occurred to me that maybe they’re planning more, so I quickly took a bus back down the road, and slipped into the building where the council usually meets to discuss issues, I was just in time.”

This is where you can Vote! Since the recent developments in the mesa above Tavlon, there has been a rush of new people, and traffic. The recent road upgrade has alleviated much of it, however planners predict that in the near future, capacity will have to be doubled or there might be 24-hour traffic jams. The route cannot be widened for an avenue, so the next best thing is a Light Rail line, which would run from the mainstreet of old Tavlon to the mainstreet of new Tavlon, and this is supposed to alleviate the traffic. Many are for this proposal. However there are a key few that argue that buses work just as well, but for far less money.

“They were debating over a new LRT Line, and most people seemed to be for it, because of the added traffic. I also saw an overview of the city and its new developments.”

“New Tavlon was in the upper right, while the original Tavlon was on the bottom left. That concluded the meeting for the council members, and I saw that the time was already 1p, which means I would be late! I quickly got on another bus (so many buses! I love the transit system!) and rode my way out of town. I would be going through Valencia and into the new city, Gertmond, which I heard was founding on a discovery of coal.”

That concludes this update! it is rather short, as I am still working on the new city. As always, your suggestions and comments matter to me! I will always address comments in my new update, so if I don't reply immedietly, well...may patience be with you!

As Tavlon develops its two prime areas the traffic will definitely increase. I recommend the light rail line because buses will just clog up the road just as much as cars will. If the light rail line starts filling up in the future then you should look at another road down the hill so more buses can be used.

I am also possitive to the ligtrail, but that it got its own line. If you take a look at the last picture, you can see a little gap between the mountain tops on the right of the picture. I've also made sugestions to cut the GLR line. And even an extender. You van see my sugestions in the picture.

This is just sugestions from my side. the red line I drawed is also a potensial tourist-route for nature-lovers. (btw, the red line are just fast drawed line, or a potensial idea for the line too look out.) Otherwise, nice with new development. btw, which contry are you from?

By the way, I am very curious about your bus routes. If you don't have any special routes, I am more than willing to make a map of your transits in the region. (including trains). If your intrested, just lay out a "map" of your region, as detailed as posible. ;-)

btw, again; something I forgot, is that you can put an extra station in the suburbian area on the top of the line... this will make it more atractive to people to move there. But either way, the place will be more atractive. ( In my opinion, it will look more realistic with the GLR or something with it's own path!)
