Hiatus

By Will12,

If any followers are worrying about the recent absence of updates it's because of my holiday vacation in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia for 7 weeks. The next update will be between the 26th and the 28th of Jan 2012 (I hope!) and a project internally named Project US (Urban Sprawl) is starting. With the advent of the ring road Jubilee will rezone all existing farmland to residential and commercial. The areas outside the ring road will have exits constructed (a seperate mega update) and farmland...

Now I can reveal that the big project was... The Jubilee Ring Road! :thumb::party::party::party::thumb: Yes the JDOT and the JRLC have come together to announce the Jubilee Ring Road. It's main pupose is to move lots of traffic when Jubilee expands and provide a border to uban sparwl so farmland can still continue. Rather than paving a full on Highway it is classified as an avenue (in game) but in reality it's just a little lower capacity expressway with grade separated junctions with Highway 12 and...

University Road Widening

By Will12,

In part 2 we focus on Uni(versirty) Rd. Heavy traffic can occur on weekends and this pushes the 2 lane road to its limit. Plans to widen it have been dicussed including a possible 6 lane road. Eventually they came to an agreement to make a narrow 4 lane road in the place of Uni Rd. A low capacity detour has been layed and visitors are advised to stay away from the university for a month or two while construction takes place. The detour connects to the farmland perimeter road. Here is the detour: The road...

Part 1 of 3 short-ish updates including one VERY big plan to - SHHH! I've said too much already as the newly called Jubilee Department of Transport (JDOT) is keeping the project very quiet. It's all in a big contract with the Jubilee Road Laying Company (JRLC) and the JDOT! Anyway onto the main focus of part 1. Today was a monumental day for the Mayor! The first ever university in Jubilee has been built. This is the Campus and the frringe of student housing: This is an overview showing the housing and the...

Highway 12

By Will12,

Today the FDOT has gone ahead with plans to extend Highway 12 to Jubilee. It will be 6 lanes up untill the terminus where it will narrow to 4 lanes. Here is the already paved terminus: And here is the badly put together mosiac: Please comment and advising me of a better way to make a mosiac with free programs.

With the teaser of the last update you now know that the FDOT has passed plans to widen the 3 lane expressway called the Village-to-Farmland Expressway or "The Expressway" as the locals call it. As all the freight trucks and holiday traffic can only use the expressway to go to the fisheries and beach (as the local roads are blocked to all freight and holiday traffic) the 3 lanes do not handle the traffic well. The one lane going southbound can become clogged with trucks and beach goers alike. The plans are...

Jubilee

By Will12,

Today we travel to the farmoing community called Jubilee. With almost 1,900 poeple calling this place home it has a village. This is the village with the small expressway to get to the Farmland: Thiese are some snippets of the large farmland: And this is an overview of both: That is all for this update and here is a teaser:

An International Airport

By Will12,

4 years ago in the only city in Faulkner- Capitol City an airport was built for more people to come and live in Capital City and other towns to be built (like Kindle) and this worked only a little too well as the original airport is now overcrowding and a year ago someone suggested a big international airport. As Faulkner isn't that big it was to have gates for many international aircraft companies and one runway. 6 months ago they found a site that was the planned area for the airport the only porblem was...

Capitol City

By Will12,

As I said earlier we've come across the megalopolis that is Capitol City. At the moment demand for commercail and residential is fluxuating and so abandonment is an issue. This is an overview of the city of 200,000 people from rich or poor: Faulkner was prone to many casualties in the many Regional Wars. Here is a war memorial: To keep the city running smoothly a City Hall was erected: Energy is no problem in Capitol City with new technology enabled a Hydrogen Power Plant and water comes from a big...

R12

By Will12,

If you read my comment in the last update you will know that Kindle city tile is corrupt and so unplayable. As promised here is a trip down old rural highway 12 (R12)[sorry for writing M12 on entry and update]. We start at the weasten border of Interiem: The terrain here and as we go further in gets hilly: The meadian widens a bit: We go through a valley: The freeway interchange with the M14: And past the interchange onto a 45 degree turn: And another 45 degree turn and the eastern border. And that is the...

An insight into Kindle

By Will12,

We shall start in a empty large tile named Kindle. It will be a small one-port town. We shall so far only stay here for 2 updates. Then we shall move on to Capitol City. Here is the mainland: The only road in and out: The sleepy village with the ferry dock briging a few residents: This is the Area's Mayor Holiday House: After a 6 months: The towns only port: The busiest intersection in the village: The town after 5 years: Deep in the mountains a solar power plant is pumping out all the power: And last but...
