Photos of Main Town North

Main Town North
Sim Date -08.30.298

Region Population has broke Six Hundred Thousand, 601,784

I've been working around S. Cody Rd.-Sub Division and Airport City.
So I though I would take some Photos of Main Town North starting from
there and working my way outward.

First S. Cody Rd.-Sub Division (S CR-SD).
Photo # 0336

Just to the East of S CR-SD is Airport City.

Main Town North
Sim Date -10.02.298
Population 387,979

Next is a Wide Angle Shot of the area.
Notice the pollution in the South east corner of Main Town North.
It looks like there is also some serious unemployment in the area.

A little further to the east.

Now moving to the west of S. Cody Rd.-Sub Division.
Photo # 0872

Here is a large wide Angle of the South East corner of Main Town North.
(Airport Area)
Photo #1171

Sim Date -01.02.299 (Happy New Year)
Population 390,306

Moving further to the west, there is little or no Unemployment.
Main St Village and 15th and Main Sub-Division both seem to be doing very well.
Photo # 0951

Now even further west into the Downtown area.
Notice that Adam Ave., Main St. and Cody rd. run basically the length of Main Town North and are very important transportation routes of the city.
Adam Ave. and Main St. were original constructed so closely together to provide space for a
future Highway and/or Train tracks between them. But I zoned the space for commercial and
it took off so I haven't build transportatian there.
There doesn't seem to be a 12th or 13th St.. I'm not sure what
ever happened to, but they both seem to be gone.

I'm not going to get into much detail of the North Side of Main Town North.
but here are two wide angles of the area.

North West corner of Main Town North. North of Downtown Area.
Photo # 1275

North East corner of Main Town North. North of Airport Area. (CN Tower Area).
Photo # 1250

Sim Date -03.05.299
Population 367,595



For some reason (or maybe no reason at all?) My population has dropped?
I'll check Schools and Hospitals for under funding,
the news for water or power shortages and
demolish any abandon buildings I can find.

Maybe that will help get my population back up (Maybe Not)?



I hope you enjoyed those photos and are getting to know your way around Main Town North
better.

South Cody Rd. Sub-Division Development. Part 3

Sim Date -04.24.298
Population - 385,540

With the Improvements done to South Cody Rd.- Subdivision, it's time to see
how much growth and new construction it will generate.

Well, Not as much growth as I had hope to see, but there may still be more to
come.



I'm not sure what my next project will be? The traffic problem is in Airport
City
(corner of Norman rd and Airport City Rd), same old, same
old. I'm not sure what if anything to do about it?

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you real soon, Louie

To
stimulate growth in S. Cory Rd-SD, basically by place a Pedestrian Mall centrally
located in the Sub-Division.


Plan;

Step 1. Demolish Abandon Buildings and unattached Bus Stop.

Step 2. Remove Commercial Zone on East Loop.

Step 3. Demolish Playground #2 (Photo 1319A)

Step 4. Place Pedestrian Mall from Bus Stop #3, East Loop to a New Bus Stop on West Loop. (Mark on photo is slightly out of place)

Step 5. Change Medium Density Residential zones on West Loop, to High Density Residential.

Step 6. Re-zone Residential Zones on S. Cody Rd-SD Entrance to Medium Commercial. (Demolish Bus Stop #4 and make new Commercial zone 3 tiles wide or turn zones around and to face Cody Rd.) (Photo 1319B)

Photo 1319A

Photo 1319B

The 2 Unused tiles will be developed but I'm undecided as to what?

I may place Commercial zones on the east side of East Loop and do
something with the south side of South Loop?

Photo 1352



There is also a park or playground I didn't notice on the East Loop, I'm not
sure what to do with it?

I hope to have improvement done and posted by Sunday Night (July26)

Well that seemed to work out nice.

Next I think I'll work on the Cody Rd Subdivision. It's just west of
Airport City and has been in decline since Main St and 16th St. were widened.

I'll try to post more often but it takes a bit to put these post together.
