An update came out to NewCity.  Among other things, trees can be planted, and there are different types of trees now.

New neighborhoods are springing up all around the former forests of Lakeland.

Looking across downtown from Cityhill

Timber Bay was developing some traffic issues.  They were solved by adding another set of ramps from the highway.

I messed with the FOV slider for this shot.  Mostly I have been playing at 20 degrees FOV, but this shot was taken at 5 degrees.

Evening train.

A convention center was built across the highway from downtown, not far from the technical college.  Only a few homes had to be demolished to make way for it.

50% of the population now has a high school education, and unemployment is reasonable.

Cityville is nearly out of unprotected land to develop, but right across the bay sits a large undeveloped area.  A feasibility study was done for a highway bridge.  A highway bridge will be out of the question for many years.  A subway tunnel is possible, but the new area would lack the density at first to make the tunnel worthwhile.  After much debate, taxes were raised, and the idea was shelved for the time.

That's all for now.
