REPLIES SimMania:
K50: You've got some really cool shots there Josh
CoastRunner: Really nice update! A few of the street transitions between types are a little rough, though there's not much you can do about that. Altogether great use of CC
111222333444: Wow, Those shots are awesome
mayorm: Great update, the town looks like it is growing, although the housing style is a bit overdone. But hey those developers, can be trouble sometimes, mine always build a whole bunch of double tree hotels
. Great work!
Towncrafter: Wow, that looks great. I love all the trees.
forthwall: The first picture and the last picture sold it. Amazing!
thank you all!

Welcome to the first "The Reader's Opinion" update! You get to choose what happens next in the journal and the most popular decision is what goes through.
As stated before, something must be done to save the farms and the agriculture industry in Goldspire as traffic increases region-wide. The only viable way to go about this without creating any additional commute times is to build a four-lane road straight across between Goldspire and White Settlement. This will be the one and only road that goes west and plenty of connector roads from the agricultural areas will be built to prevent congestion on any particular back-road.
This would allow a higher speed limit as well as alleviate congestion on the current 2-lane road between the two towns. This unfortunately would mean the road would have to cut straight through the farmland. This has Goldspire farmers worried, and some have even been lobbying the newly formed council to disapprove the plan. Residents, on the other hand have been lobbying the council to pass the proposal. As stated before, simply going around the farms wouldn't improve the commute-times because of the extra drive further north and back south again, cause even more congestion on back roads and render fertile land to the north unusable.
Additionally a new residential village between the two towns has been proposed but hasn't made it to the voting-stages yet.
What do you think the newly-formed Goldspire council should do? You can choose between the two options or come up with your own.
