Development has continued the port in Winthrop.  Recently the container and cargo port have been completed.  Port Authorities have plans to develop a bulk materials port for resources such as coal, oil, and iron ore.  For now with the completion of the port, construction on the commercial warf and fishing docks has been scheduled to begin soon.  Rail and expressway connections remain to be finished.  WInthrop will need a large population to support the expanded port and industrial areas.

Ships await approval to dock at the newly finished port.

Here is the high capacity container docks where three ships can dock and containers can be transported by road or rail.

Three more container ships dock on the far side of the port.

The shipping channel is already full with ocean going super ships awaiting a free dock.

The completed port has numerous rail connections for the moving freight.  The expressway remains to be compleated.  Winthrop sold large numbers of bonds to complete this port.  Officials are betting on becoming the freight transportion hub of this part of the region.   Winthrop needs further expansion of residential and commercial areas to be able to repay bond debt without raising taxes or cutting services.  With the port development taking four years, only sixteen years remain to increase cashflow to repay debt.

Cisco2 The curved streets, roads and rails can be found in the latest NAM.  The gentle curves give any city a nice look and feel.https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21355

 Great looking port.  How much of it is being utilized by freight volume?
For the cantondale avenue, my vote is yellow-blue-pink-orange-brown.

 All of them except the yellow one I think would really help.  A rural highway along the Pink, Brown and Black lines would be perfect though!  Rural Highway is very compatable with avenues too.

I agree with clarkjordan12345. A Rural Highway would be good along the Pink, Brown and Black ligns. Anyway, my vote is White, Blue, Pink. Brilliant CJ, nice realism!
