wow beautiful. I like the concept of the tunnel running under a canal and those houses look great too! :D Rail in between the highways is really an inspiration for me!

Thanks Tigeria. I'm glad to have inspired you. :)

The rail in the middle of the hgihway is great. In this city, I had to configure cross overs where part of the highway tunnels under the rail line. It was rather tricky at first, but with practice it becomes easy. As for the canals, I love making canals now but the current canal bridges out there don't meet my aesthetic needs. I prefer un-impeded canals, where barges won't need to stop for draw bridges and such. so I tunnel my transport under it and plant trees. :) I love tunneling, gives more options in beautifying a city.

 I love the way you have made the distinction between urban/suburban and nature.  The way that your city seems to flow into the backyard of nature, extremely well done! one thing that I thought was a tad off, was the long streets with houses.  I'm not sure what goal you are trying to achieve, but they look a tad off (the aesthetic value) and also this somewhat increases automotive dependancy, because sims would need to walk so far for any form of public transit (based more on studies, than the laws in-game).

very, very, very good!

Thanks again bwong. :D

Though it's tough to see, I have an extensive transport system in Port Minnatonka. I use the RTMT bus stop/subway plops along with parking garages. In the rowhouse section, a majority of the people on that strip of land walk to mass transit. Everyone also has access to  rail and a subway system :D Further, there is also a water taxi service connected to subway and bus, so many options for sims to pick from. As for why I have long rowhouses, I prefer the smaller buildings over towers. In certain areas the towers look great. But I want Port minnatonka to have more of a young and countryish feel. :) I'm hoping it's working. I just installed the "block maxis buildings" modd, hopefully my cities and towns will be nicer without the bland maxis buildings.

Hi there. Nice work you have here. I like most of the residential sections you have, but I agree the one picture has streets that are a bit long. A train skin would also add a nice touch to the rail system.
