Update 03_Urban Sprawl
Update 03
Good afternoon ladies and gentleman. BlueHope is quickly gaining members and I am very proud of the development and sprawl throughout the BluePort area. Currently we have two new cities on the rise and quickly becoming populous kings. But before we get into all of that, I have a few votes and proposals I would like to hear your feedback on the comments section on...
Blue Port News and Voting
State Highway Act:
Indeed, The metropolitan areas of BluePort are growing and route consistancy is lacking. BluePort is in need of interconnectivity roadways in which travel throughout the metropolitan areas, rural areas, and interconnect cities. BluePorts state government will fund the act but are currently seeking the best route herald to use.
VOTE: Which Herald should BluePort use on its STATE Highways?
1. 
2. 
3.
4.
5.
The HIGHEST vote wins the state highway herald for route designation. The SECOND highest vote will become The BluePort CITY County Road Herald.
Mall of BluePort:
The Mall of Blue Port is to be planned in the Northern sector of the city of BluePort. Developement plans are listed below...
It will be outlined by Capital Avenue and possibly have heavy rail access. It will be circled by Mall Circle. Capital Avenue serves interconnectivity into the main city. The Mall also plans to bring several highrises and apartments to serve for live/work communities.
Vote: What Mall package should I use?
Railroads without wheels: Indeed, BluePort is outlined with the infastructure of railroads but hardly any trains use it. BluePort is still searching for the appropiate rail and station system. BluePort is asking for outsider advice upon which station style to use upon building its passenger rail system.
Vote: What Train Stations should I use?
Now on to the main update!
BluePort is growing considerably, shown above is a more current map of the city limits and development around the western half of the island. BluePort is now seeking interconnectivity methods and will have route proposal maps within the near future to determine how roadways should service the state. Currently the most pressing issue would be the rise of Dabbersburgh just east of BluePort. Roadways with efficient capacity would need to be developed out eastward to serve interconnectivity between Dabbersburgh and BluePort, and further east into Jacksonville. The Mayors of these cities are commended for their efficient city planning. So while we're talking about Dabbersburgh, lets have a closer look at it with the Mayors own words...
Dabbersburgh - By Ralverdo
Ralverdo: The city of Dabbersburg is a very young city, though it may not look it because of its rapid growth. The city grew quickly into a Metropolis because of its excellent waterways and it’s fairly even ground, and experienced mayor. Dabbersburg features significant mass transit, it has a elevated rail and subway system that transports thousands of people to their workplace each day (See Figure 1 for Ele-rail system photograph)

But the city does have a bad side, like all cities. It has a poor district, nicknamed “the Poor Houses” by its citizens it also has very little fire coverage because the mayor states that “Placing fire coverage citywide is useless, we only need one in each district to dispatch trucks to put out fires.” The city also has a medium sized industrial district, but that is slowly being killed and replaced by high tech industry.
There are parts of the city that are secure, save and employed, such as the wealthy district, inhabited by upper-class and middle-upper class (see Figure 2 for Wealthy District). The city has a huge 20% tax on all polluting industries to make room for the High-Tech Industry expansion that will have, in the long run been a worthwhile investment to have all polluting industry to be eliminated (see Figure 3 for High Tech Indstry District).
