Valley Park 100,000 Sims The experimental city. Valley Park began with significant plotting of roads. The metro heart (pictured above) was framed by a one-way border road which connected to the avenues transiting through the town South to North. Inside the frame, a grid was made, then a central square with diagonal streets cutting up the grid. The result? It's alright. Looks like advertising art for the game from 2003, I think. One possible advantage was it did partially contain the commercial center, rather then it sprawling along the major roads in every direction. This was my first university town. Really glad I got that modular university pack now, but this wasn't a terrible effort at it. There is a outlier to the downtown, as a freeway cuts across the far southwest corner of the map. Rather then try to bring the freeway to the downtown, I created a satellite center around an airport and expo center. Nothing special, but I like ordinary and expected. Helps to make the cool stuff POP. Lots of traffic led to this rather elegant mess at a roundabout west of downtown. I like looking at it from on high. But you could not pay me to negotiate it in a car.
