So far all of the redrawing of the subway lines and retail in Quentinsburgh is going smoothly, as are other projects around the metropolitan area.

As for the QUARTA metro (subway), so far I’ve been able to redraw the tracks for every single line except the eastern portion of Line 5, (as far as I realize) which may end up taking a slightly different route near the Geolympiad Complex anyway (possibly merging with the 4 for a Geolympiad complex station?). Platform work is still in progress. When all is said and done one will be able to tell what trains stop where including express just by looking at the map, and routes like 2 and 3 which originally ended short will have been fully extended.

(On a side note, I made several major freeways toll roads in Quentinsburgh, including most of U-7 within city limits, U-104 and U-204, and there are plans to make a branch of QLine route 4 to go into Northcross, which may become route 12 or route 4B, depending on exact route, and a modification of the BRT to go on Greendale Meadows Rd and Franklin Hill Rd. I will likely make a news article about these improvements soon.)

Retail is a larger project. I discovered that not only was my retail way too big with malls and such- since they were too big, there was still too little retail. I’ve fixed most of the larger malls (Huxtable Towne, Grand Sq, Freeman Sq, Freedemia Sq, Hinespoint, Matherspark Towne, Southtown, Stanley Shop Ctr, etc) except Northcross’ malls, Tortoise Hills Mall and Beaver Point Mall, but it’s going to take longer for me to be able to go in and fix the smaller strip malls, supermarkets, fast food restaurants, gas stations, etc, most of which are still too few and too big. Areas like Capital West/Christian in North Quentinsburgh, the areas around Huxtable Towne and Stanley Shop Ctr and now even Matherspark have seen immense improvement though.

Zoning is also finally giving a sense of urbanization in many areas, especially with the new rendering. I’ve improved a lot of roads from tertiary to secondary, secondary to primary, etc, as part of a citywide transportation improvement campaign (and because they render better and give more of a realistic sense to the city)

Quentinsburgh will be fixed up quite nicely by the time for the 2016 Summer Geolympiad, including a new baseball stadium under construction in the Geolympiad Complex.

I’m considering making Bond Rd a trunk corridor- it seems to be one of the biggest north-south(ish) corridors in the metropolitan area.

I hope to eventually work on Haroldsborough and Fort Elwood, Laneston, Vandover and such and such and work my way outward from Quentinsburgh- then onto places like Trenchent, San Grade, and Franklinsburgh. But for now, I’m focusing on getting Quentinsburgh right. I think I’m doing an okay job. :)

Very nice! I see a decent sized metropolitan area developing with suburbs and such. Looking good!
