LEO & buildsolid:  Thank you!  I may see about releasing a generic pack. mayorbk:  I made them.  :P  Sorry about your Blues, I was rooting for them.

Haljackey: Thank you for making the first comment over here! I'm happy to be providing roadgeekery to all sorts of SC4 fandom. TmiguelT: You'll see . . . . in the next couple of updates or so. Thanks for reading! kingdiz_55: I try to make the interchanges as real-life-like as I can. Thanks for reading, and I hope you stick around! When we last left off, I was almost finished constructing the Lake Ontario State Parkway's first two interchanges. We're going to take a look at what NYSDOT has accomplished as far as getting signage up goes. We'll start looking eastbound on the Parkway as it approaches its interchange with SH 63. All hazardous cargo moving eastbound must detour around the central Lyndonville population area. Approach sign to the interchange. SH 63 will take you to the airport, tentatively named "Perreault International". Now at the Parkway / 63 interchange. Sorry for the pause border - I still have yet to re-download that remover jiggamathinger. Moving over to SH 63 . . . Keeping hazardous cargo away from the Lyndonville metro! Approach to the split. Welcome to Splitsville, population us. Once again, apologies for the pause border. That's it for now. More signage coming soon! You can also check out Orleans County over on SC4D! Thanks for reading, and we'll see you next time!

Haljackey:  I use overhanging props to get the stuff in the middle of the splits & exits. Also, thank you for your many pointers in running a CJ / MD!  Before you get this one, though - I'll be converting my PNGs to JPEGs soon. Thanks again for reading!

SoCal ain't got nothin' on this OC! Introduction - April 18, 2009 Update #1A - The Lake Ontario State Parkway - April 18, 2009 Update #1B - The Lake Ontario State Parkway - April 25, 2009 Update #1C - Signing the Parkway - April 27, 2009 Orleans County is located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, bordered by Niagara, Monroe, and Genesee counties on the west, east, and south. As of the 2000 census, Orleans County had a population of 44,171. The county has five major population centers: the villages of Albion, Holley, Kendall, Lyndonville, and Medina. The banner doesn't lie - Orleans County is my home. I reside in the Village of Lyndonville. I am a Class of 2005 graduate of the Lyndonville Central School District. I can't lie, it's a wonderful feeling to be creating and extrapolating on my home turf. Before I get started, I'd like to thank Troy / blade2k5 for putting together this great canvas for me to work on. I also look forward to doodling around on the canvasses of Buffalo and Rochester. This Orleans County will differ from the real-world Orleans County in several ways: 1) A major increase in population. 2) More major highways / freeways / expressways. 3) Orleans County is Sabre & Tiger Country. WARNING - This Mayor's Diary will contain massive doses of roadgeekery, in the form of intricate transportation setups, signs, and signals. You have been warned - now sit back and enjoy the ride!

Welcome back to Orleans County! Last time, we took an initial look at the Lake Ontario State Parkway, which connects several state parks along the southern shore of Lake Ontario between Buffalo and Rochester. I can tell you that construction has commenced in the northwest corner of the county, near Golden Hill State Park. Most of the mainlanes of both the Parkway and State Highway 63 have been completed. Two interchanges are also substantially completed: the interchange between the Parkway and the western entrance to Golden Hill State Park, and the interchange between the Parkway and SH 63. Pictures look eastbound, starting at the west and continuing east. The first exit in Orleans County. Looking north (to the left) will be Golden Hill State Park. The Parkway's interchange with SH 63. The interchange is substantially completed, save for the Parkway's mainlanes. They will pass underneath the other two ramps. That'll do it for this installment of Orleans County. Thanks for reading, and see you next time!

The Lake Ontario State Parkway, in real life, is a approximately 36-mile divided highway along the southern shore of Lake Ontario. It starts just north of State Route 18 in Carlton, and ends at its intersection with Lake Avenue in the City of Rochester. The Parkway connects several state parks, including the Lakeside Beach State Park; the Oak Orchard Marine State Park; Hamlin Beach State Park; and Braddock Bay State Park. The Parkway was originally intended to stretch all the way from Niagara Falls to Rochester; however, it was only built to Lakeside Beach State Park. Here are some pictures of signage along the Parkway: http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/ny/losp/ That's the real world. Now, as you may have guessed, the Parkway figures an important role in my Orleans County. It will stretch across the entire county, to Niagara Falls in the west, and Rochester / Nieuw Nederland in the east. Parkway Control Cities (from west to east): Lyndonville Rochester | Nieuw Nederland From east to west: Lyndonville Niagara Falls Highway interchanges may (or may not) feature the following control cities: Albion, Kendall, Holley, Batavia, Pembroke, Medina Stay Tuned for Part 2 - In-Game With the Parkway! Stay Tuned!

Wow. Are people embarassed to say they own a "Big Three" car? I'm the proud owner of a 1996 Ford Contour, built in Kansas City, MO. I get decent gas mileage . . . . home to Buffalo & back on 1/4 tank of gas. I think the unions & the lack of foresight are what did "Big Auto" in.

I took a crack at it: Some areas will have to be switched to one-way roads, but this is the setup I thought would give as much access to as many points as possible.

itsbernie81 - The best way to connect an elevated RHW-4 to an elevated avenue or two elevated one-way roads would be to use the "Elevated Avenue - Highway Transition" puzzle piece, I think.

Very funny! Mine said I lived in Webster, NY - which is actually about an hour away. I live between Buffalo and Rochester . . . Webster's east of Rochester.

It still exists . . . . wow. andisart, great job on what will surely be the BAT of the decade.

Wow. A legend returns. Welcome back, DarkMatter!

This is practically in my backyard. My girlfriend lives 20 minutes away, and I live 40 minutes away. I'm visibly and internally shaken . . . . the worst since 9/11 for me.

Still around . . . . been very busy at the library lately. Switching to a new circulation system. The two-year anniversary is Wednesday . . . . I'll be bringing her here for a nice dinner for two. Could I get a table reserved in advance?

I'm making an American version, so y'all can cross that off the list.

Australia just might be it. The white centerline and the outback look do it for me.

I've been really busy . . . . sort of migrated with the NAM folks over to SC4D, but that's another story for another time. At the moment, I'm working two jobs to try to make enough money to get back in school. Beyond that, I play hockey whenever I can, and try to get to Buffalo whenever I can to see my girlfriend. (We're approaching two years together . . . rapidly.) I'll try to not be as scarce around this wonderful establishment. EDIT: It seems I've been away so long that I forgot all about the 'two-post rule'. My apologies.

Hi, folks . . . . haven't been around in a while . . . . how's everyone doing?

I can tell you that yes, a MIS - one way road transition is in the works. I'd venture a guess that it'd be in the next RHW release.

Alrighty, folks - here's the Pominville Uber-Super Expressway: http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/2018/pominvillesuperhighwayji0.jpg Enjoy! *hands out drool cups*
