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)

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.

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.

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.

Rebuilding The North Power Plant

Sim Date -01.15.297

I Balanced my Budget, by demolishing the North Power Plant.

Power Plant (North Plant)
Efficiency (Balloon's) 2.75
Local Funding $18,695
Max. Capacity 50,000 MWh
Plant Condition 47%
Actual Capacity 25,943
Power Used 15,707 MWh
Capacity Used 60%
Cost MWh $.60

My Current power situation after demo.

Actual Power Capacity: 54,731
Power Used: 49,011

So I decided to build a new North Plant.

New Power Plant (North Plant)

Local Funding $9,800
Max. Capacity 50,000 MWh
Plant Condition 100%
Actual Capacity 47,999
Power Used 30,085 MWh
Capacity Used 62%
Cost MWh $.21

Power Plant (South Plant)

Local Funding $9,828
Max. Capacity 50,000 MWh
Plant Condition 99%
Actual Capacity 47,765
Power Used 29,938 MWh
Capacity Used 62%
Cost MWh $.21

To off set cost:

I lowered funding to the point of where efficiently dropped.

I canceled Power Buying Deals and Increased Power selling deal with E.
Centertown from 9,000 MWh to 11,000 MWh.

Current Power Deals:

Centertown buys 4,000 MWh for $995
E. Centertown buys 11,000 MWh for $2,297
N. Western Town buys 2,000 MWh for $500

Power Graph reads apx.
Capacity 100,000 MWh
Usage 60,000
