Imagine the Jane Byrne "Circle" Interchange, but with lane mathematics

Transit brings life to a new neighborhood

WYE on earth would anyone want to live here? Probably because of the light rail, s-bahn, subway, and regional rail services all within these few blocks.

So fun to play the game backwards with dozens of mods and then try to imagine the history that happened along the way. The light and regional rail lines utilize "old" freight ROW/infrastructure that I added at the very beginning of my build. They were never actually used, but I'm glad I put them there to use later

Holy overbuilt

Not even done with this yet but it's a bit insane even for me. Just one more (bike) lane bro

Just one more

Look, sometimes an extra lane or two can be useful for managing and mitigating weaving

I think TXDOT would approve of these interchanges but they were actually inspired by a couple in and around Chicago (where traffic is even worse)

What should I call this ridge in Noyou Port?

I want to name the neighborhood and then amphitheatre after it, specifically as the _Bowl, since it was heavily inspired by the Hollywood Bowl.

Loving this little area, but still need to fill in a lot of course. I'm especially happy with the light rail interchange tucked into the hillside, underneath the bridges and houses.

The smaller trams go on to street run and form an inner loop line (the outer loop is a metro line), and the larger ones continue with a dedicated right-of-way out to some suburbs and eventually mountainside resorts that I plan to connect with cable transit. The two lines share three stops.

Trying my best to not only respect the topography, but to earn its respect back 🫡 that can definitely be challenging sometimes but it's even more rewarding
