MetroRail Unveiled

By mayordaniel1,

Phase I of the MetroRail system has opened! While it only includes 6 stations now, the system will see many upgrades and extensions in the future. Also, along with this endeavor and part of the TRex project, a regional transportation hub has been created on the south side of Remington, accommodating heavy rail (MetroRail), bus, and future monorail systems. The regional population has now reached 640,000; the next region update and census should be ready within the next few days. Also, the current MetroRail...

The population of Remington has surpassed 500,000! As of October 19, 2006, the population of the region was 508,028. Much of this growth comes from massive growth in the far southern suburbs. The Remington Area Census Bureau will be releasing a census with data from each municipality soon. There are several announcements along with this update: 1. The RDOT (Remington Department of Transportation) has announced a large expansion of the region's public transit, TRex or Transportation Expansion, which is...

The second region update won't be ready for another few days, but there is one announcement. Developer Malcolm Landgraab has announced a new master-planned town, Alton Lakes. The town will be centered around three lakes and three "villages" and is expected to house up to 30,000 people when it is fully built. Attached is the basic layout of the town.

Suburbia

By mayordaniel1,

Remington has quite expansive suburbs for a city its size, and today we will take a look at them. The largest suburb in the region, Arlington Heights, has a population of 20,873, and is also home to Lockheed University. Here is a wide view of the sprawling town: The Northampton Freeway also cuts through the western portion of Arlington Heights, which is located directly north of Queensland. Most residents commute into the city via this freeway. The next largest is Reading, with a population of 15,000....

Welcome to Remington! With a population of just less than 130,000, it is the main city in the region. This is a pure boomtown; Remington was founded as a small suburb, but its population increased by 125,000 in a span of about 15 years. As you can see, the Highway 25 cuts directly through downtown and has an interchange with the East Tollway right at the city center. Remington has seen better days. Gridlock is strangling the city, which has no public transportation whatsoever. Buildings are abandoning left...

Ah, my favorite, transportation. Today we will take a look at the transit network of the Remington area. As you can see in the map, a surprisingly dense freeway network exists in and around Remington. The main north-south freeway, Highway 25, runs from the southern coastline of the region to Los Alamos, an industrial area east of Queensland.Highway 10, the East Tollway, currently goes from downtown Remington to the edge of suburban developments. It is currently the only toll road in the area, and will...

Welcome to the Remington metropolitan area. It is centered around two major cities, Remington with a population of 130,000, and Queensland with a population of 100,000. The total regional population is 425,000. As in many major metropolitan areas, suburban development is rapidly spreading outwards as urban areas fall into decay. We'll see what happens as regional planners try to fix this problem, and how much it will take...
