Ellwood City

New Humboldt is BACK!! 

This update is going to focus on a new city I have recently developed in New Humboldt. That city is Ellwood City. 

Ellwood City is located south west of Fairway. Its population is around 30,000. 

Overview of current state of Fairway Metro: (location of Ellwood City circled)

Ellwood City is in the ring of new development that I have been working on in my spare time. Mostly rural areas outside of Fairway Metro. I have highlighted in white the area I have been developing over the last few months.

Ellwood City has a small town feel with the attitude of a big city. With the recent rise in development around New Humboldt, Ellwood City has thrived with several highway connections to the main road network of Fairway. (and possibly more to come *:D)

Here is an aerial view of Ellwood City.

And a closer look at Central Ellwood:

The city has started a new road project to re-rout the North/South mainline through the city. It currently is following an old out of date line and splits the highway into two segments. The new alignment will allow a straight shot out of town to the existing intersection. 

Project area:

After completion, it was noticed that the new roundabout at the Fire Dept. was not working well.

A new alignment is planned:

And complete:

I hope to showcase some more of Ellwood City soon. I am off of work for the week and weekend! SO I plan lots of SC4 time! No real news on the Ring Road Project yet though. I may tackle that this week. Its kind of a mess right now..... *:lol: :(, But you will know when I do!! But New Humboldt is not dead! It is still growing A LOT! The region has a population of 2.6 million sims at present time. Its my biggest yet! Stay tuned for more!!! 

Thanks! :)

I found everything very beautiful and liked the gradient aspect that you did with the central area that is commercial around a residential urban core, where further away from it, the neighboring areas are rural! I think it's really good! I like this style of city organization and even a region, because it makes the environment so natural! Congratulations!!! *:yes:
