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..

I started with Demolitions on the South end of Norman Rd.

I discovered that I had a Busing problem and had to replace Two New Parks on each side of the South end of the new Pedestrian Mall.

West Bus Stop
1707 passenger usage

East Bus Stop

Here is the Old Map of Airport City before the new traffic improvements.



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.

More traffic problems in Airport City

Sim Date -03.07.297

More traffic problems in Airport City has prompted me to take action.
I'm going to try to do as little demolition as possible.

The main problem is the intersection of Norman rd. and Airport City
Rd.

Photo 01

As you can see in (photo 01), The intersection has 2977 cars and the North
end of Norman rd starts at 2941 Cars and is around 1400 cars for the rest
of the road. The South end of Norman rd. runs from 350 to about 950 cars
(not on photo 01).

You can also see that most of the buildings zones face Norman rd.

Instead of making an avenue and demolishing one complete side of Norman rd.
I am going to place a Pedestrian Mall, replacing much of Norman rd. and try to
keeping demolish to a minimal.

The Plan: Looking at Photo (01A Copy)

Photo 01A

The North end of Norman rd will have a Pedestrian Mall (2 squares),
about half way between Airport City rd and Airport City Loop N.,
with only 1 building being demolished.

Photo 10102

The complete length of the South end of Norman rd. will be come a Pedestrian
mall with 3 buildings being demolished. Also a new Residential zone replacing
some of the demolished buildings.

Photo 10103

Hopefully this will fix the traffic problems by directing traffic around the neighborhood and on to the more capable Airport City Loop. Instead of using Norman rd. so much.

I'll be back soon with an update of the construction and results of the improvments.
