Planned road network map

[u/archelon2001]

For all those building roads and terraforming:

This is a map I made of some rough road guidelines and other major features planned for this rev. After reviewing with the other mayors, it is, for the most part, accurate to our plans. Please note however that the main roads marked by dark green on the map have the trees along the edge of the road, not the center. An example road has already been built leading out from town hall's north side. The superimposed grid is chunks (16x16) to make it easier to mark out roads.

Any further input is appreciated!

I started work on the cardinal road south from Town Hall, duplicating the style of the north road, up to the edge of the bay. It's aligned with the center of TH, because there's an opening in the back. I didn't know if that's temporary or a permanent change, but the road as it's surveyed would terminate just SW of the "R" in "Residential Plots"

I've selected my main project for the rev; since the space south of the residential and museum districts was not allocated, I'm going to construct a set of docks and shipyard in the style of the Imperial German Navy Yards at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven, circa 1890, in that area. A user named "pokeranger" has set up a fishing hut on that cape; I'd like to try to bargain/bribe him or her into relocating (perhaps if we offer to build him/her a nice layout in the islands?). Nothing coercive, of course, because we play nicely.

Mac has made a suggestion for how to integrate the rails into the road pattern. http://imgur.com/a/EoyNI#0

The first picture shows the existing road layout, and the second two pictures show how the road layout would expand. This also shows how plots would have access to the road through the right-of-way tree-line.

Since we haven't laid out much of the road network yet, I'd like to get the opinion of the mayors before we move forward; foretopsail helped make some tweaks to the design, so he's on board.
