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

Step 3. Demolish Playground #2 (Canceled)

Since discovering Park #2 I have decided to skip step 3 and not to
demolish Playground #2, at least not for now.

I also will plant trees in the void left after de-zoning the Commercial Zone on East Loop.

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.

In an attempt to improve traffic and Development in the Airport City Neighborhood. I needed to do some major changes to Norman rd..

Now the New Map of Airport City.



In the Photos notice the dramatic drop in Car Traffic. From 2941 Cars to 648 Cars Just north of the corner of Norman rd. and Airport City Rd.

That seem to have fixed the traffic problems in Airport City for now.
