Love the canal meeting the ocean. Have you considered making the bridge arch wider for the road, train and canal?

Sorry to say, that small canal addition dispels alot of the magic here. It needs to be as wide as the canal. And the height suggest it usn't actually used at al, - too low for boats. Go the whole hog and create a beautiful bridge

for me too many roads, but im from europe. we walk a lot, our cities have zones for walking only, with caffees, restaurants, space for sitting and so on. your city would look also better with a bit less roads. but its yours, so do as you like, just an opinion :)

5 arches side by side for bridge supports would look pretty good I think, then you can have water flowing through them all.

Looking great, what an amazing process to be a part of 😊

Would you ever consider making the canal wider? I always like a water feature!

Is it just me or is it that the canal seems abit small 😂

I would like to see that arch at 5:20 be either double-wide or replaced by something brickbuilt, same with the arch under the roadway. with it causing that much of a change (raised road and raised train) I wish it were a larger focal point instead of something as subtle as it seems to me.

On that 1 and 1/2 baseplates, at the corner, you could add a small fish market with boats unloading the fish. Might require the end of the boardwalk to be moved further down, but would create a good story and add some variation to that small spot.

Keep up the great work! I only have 3 suggestions/thoughts: 1. I think the arches should be bigger/higher or wider, so we can see the tunnel where the water flows 2. I think the beach should be expanded, since definately there is space for it. Don't be lazy (ahahaha, I know you aren't :) ). 3. I like the white tiles in the road curves... :( But I think I can live with those not existing... :P Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your videos and what you are making with the city!

I would make a pier coming off of the boardwalk like most us cities. A pier would be cool because it could have the ferris wheel and other stuff to entertain the guests

That angled work already looks awesome. Honestly remember watching you back when I everything used to look a bit more blocky! The city is definitely in a new era and it's looking amazing. I'd definitely agree with most of the other comments that the bridge could do with being a *bit* bigger. But honestly, I can imagine it's pretty hard to work with trains. Maybe two arches and a brick higher might make it look better without too much work? Obviously it might be worth focusing on something else for now! The city is already looking incredible. Would love to see more photos of it over time. Maybe over on Instagram? Appreciate the effort on the daily content, thank you!

That arch looks so bad. Like an entrance to the sewage LOL make it at least 3 times wider

I guess it would take away from the amount of space you have for the boatyard, but I think you should expand the beach by make it longer, like twice as long. There would be more space for the minifigs to play volleyball, build sandcastles, etc.

I think for the city canal you should go for an Amsterdam/Venice style and for the underground I think you should go for a london theme. I found a style that can make it a nice curved white using the gold bars in white

The end of board walk should have pedestrian bridge to go over train and allow access to city center. Then food trucks could be there on roadways. Keep on having Lego fun.

In a perfect world the table would be lower where the water/canal is, that would solve the problem of having to raise everything up. Would also make more sense, as it is now(i know it isnt finished) some rain would flood the entire city(i know it not everything has to be realistic)

Things are looking great, and I certainly don't want the critical, but i'm thinking that Canal needs to be more "grandiose". At least have the culvert the same size as the road overpass. It's a cool point of interest in the City that could use some more detail and focus. Of course, part constraints are always an issue.

For the boardwalk if the angles don't matter the easiest system is 3/4/5 studs. Short side 3, long side 4, angled side 5 studs. Super easy to do and remember. Also no gaps like you have with the hinge bricks.

What do you think of moving the Ferris wheel to the right a baseplate and out to match the long boardwalk? It gives you more beachline, unblocks the last mini modular and gives you more space behind the Ferris wheel

I know you are planning on a subway system of some sort underneath but it would be really cool if the whole front of the table was one big lego mountain from the floor to the water covering the legs. You could open caves or holes to reveal parts of the subway, have all sorts of climbers and rescue people on the mountain too!

The train station would work and look much better if the left track had a switch track going left directly onto the main track, and the right track had a switch track going right directly into the main track. It would make a Y shape coming out of the station. 😊

I would add more sand! Lots of fun potential for storytelling and expanding the beach area. It’s a little small for the whole large city! Keep up the great work I’m excited to see how you conquer elevation in the city! Awesome

Bricksie you look tired, get some sleep! Lego City looking great.

I was watching other people's LEGO cities and I must say your city is very, very detailed. I have forgotten how much detail you put into your city.

You could extend the beach on the side, creating a cove between the current beach and the lighthouse

I think the best solution for the canal is to raise all the downtown area a few brick. That way all the buildings and streets are above the water level, and the roads and train tracks would cross easily the canal without having any awkward ups and downs. It would also allow the canal to flow in a more fluid way to the sea, with a larger estuary. But I understand that this would be a huge task, and would consume an incredible amount of parts

You often mention not having enough time for building, but remember - We aren't here to watch you just rush through but rather to be part of the building process. Keep up the amazing work! It's looking amazing

Lets Go Panthers!

Some small boats right off the beach would probably look good. Miami Beach vibes. Love the new studio

The Edmonton Oilers havent won the cup since 1990 and in 1984 was the first with Gretsky and Messier heading the team . Toronto Maple Leafs my home team not much better but the fans in Canada are dedicated to hope , its what the world needs more of . Great job on the city Bricksie

Quick thought maybe add small waves off of the beach with people surfing instead of extending the sand make the water have more life! Love the work keep it up!!

Ya need a fishing pier.

16:47 this needs to be a new thing - watch hockey with Jordan - would definitely watch this

I was laughing when you were removing the white lines on the corner roads because in real life I need those white lines to help me safely turn.

Great job 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽 yes add more Beach! And push the Ferris wheel 🎡 out towards the water 🌊

8:30 It’s High Tide, 😉 Let your mini-figs wind-surf, kayak, and do other sports there!

Base Blue is table + one plate. Also base water level. Masive project. Build for end game right now. Don't focus on details too much. Get bigger important mocs/structures created first. Big wins first. detail later whenever you want ;-)

Some kind of baseball park on the water or a concert venue would be dope. Or something like Red Rocks in the mountains.

I love the idea of the canal. I’m wondering if you could add more arched to the bridges to keep the canal width and have more interesting looking bridges design

Ok the corner you should have a rocky shoreline, but you could also add a light house.

If you add rock to the one corner of the table where the water ends, maybe you could put a featurette statue on it, in the same sort of style as the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen harbor. Not huge like the Statue of Liberty, just modest and in keeping with the watery surroundings.

You should add a fence between the road and the train tracks. Loving the content, so far this city's looking sick can't wait to see it progress over time

The canal River up under the bridge should be wide just like the rest of it it do look a little bit smaller than the river it's all be the same size 👊💛💯

Everything is looking good, one thing i think would improve the city is using the same arch size of the road over the canal for the train and boardwalk

That angled boardwalk is looking really great! Definitely adds a bit of flare to the front of the city. The idea with the 1 and a half baseplate scene on the end of the boardwalk is also a great one; I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Day 54 of daily watch streak :)

You knew the Oilers couldn’t get swept! Can they win 3 more games is the only question. One game at a time B, just like building the city, one brick at a time. You got this, eff the Panthers!!

At around 15:00 we see just how much real estate there still is on that LEGO city table. And I would love not to have to sleep either. 🙂

for angle on grid use a ratio of 3:4 studs for the points on the grid. For example an ablge that side are 15 suds deep and 20 studs wide. also, It seems you can not make the tracks rise to allow beach goets to the beach. I say look into added walking bridges or change were the trains enter the train yard.

YES 🎉 I've been waiting for the bridge. Looking good 🎉🎉🎉

Dude, rip it apart! I can definitely see 8 more would be good. It allows more space for figs., and more concessions. Luke a taco cart, beer stand, hotdogs, slushies! I mean i think it would benefit the beach

If you want more beach an island sandbar might be the way to go

that canal is driving me up the wall. id suggest leveling it back out as with the railway and making the top a concrete culvert with the water way potentially the width of the base plate using columns, (using the mills plate design) along the water front to support the boardwalk and the train bridge. you then would have the flexibility to make canal wider on the other sider. this pad can also act as a board walk access point from downtown as well as your train crossing point.

Just a thought, you could move your big wheel in place of the angled walk so that it makes the board walk interesting and that leaves you more space to add sand or beach or something else

I have a suggestion: the residential area has sidewalks on the inside of the road that make sense. They also have sidewalks on the outside of the road, which doesn’t make sense. People from the neighborhood wouldn’t cross the street just to go on a walk. I think the corners are too square as well, which takes away from the overall appeal. This could be improved with grass, trees, and flowers instead of that gray sidewalk.

I would move the whole beach half a baseplate forward that would also make your angle easier

6:05 on the bridge you can use some decoration like some statues

Hi Bricksie, you are doing a wonderful job on the upgrade of the city, however you need to make sure you keep your Work/Family schedule balanced and don't burn yourself our by completing major upgrades each video. We all know it takes time to build Lego and we don't need to see a completed area each day. Keep Brickin.

3x4x5, 5x12x13 are the easiest Pythagorian triangles to work with

Would love to see you extend the Ferris wheel pier further into the ocean so it’s above more of the water.

So it looks great, love the new city set up. I do have one idea though for the board walk. You talked about not sure how mini figs would get there. An option would be to make the bridges for cars & train alittle bigger, maybe big enough for a tiny boat to go underneath & then run a pathway on either side of the waterway connecting straight to the downtown core. Just an idea, keep up the good work, love your videos!!

Love the progress!! Great things take time. The nice thing about Lego, you can build, take apart, and rebuild again!!

Hope Mrs. Bricksie's recovery is going well!

Imo doubling the width of the canal would look so cool!

Hi there, I think making use of your raised platforms from old layout and make a long under water scene right along the waterfront of your new layout would look awesome and give the tables great look from the front, then you can utilise the big under water scene you made in the basement 😊 💜

I cringed when you used the box cutter to remove the road tiles. I love how the train and boardwalk bridges turned out, though. 🙂 Single-stud round tiles would look good on the bridge railings too. No surprise if you're running out of those too. 🤣

You could just move thr beach half a baseplate forward, then have more beach a bit further behind the buildings, maybe add a vollyball court behing

I think that was he whole corner for the boardwalk could be used. Another spot to put like vendors or performers and such, but I also don’t know your whole vision but I think that would be cool.

Gotta Tell ya man, Was cheering on the OILERS for ya. What a game!

Swapping the location of the canal with the train track would create a more dynamic interesting route for the eye/viewer to follow the train and also eliminate the humdrum emptiness of train tracks going around the edge of the city. A canal going down the edge of the right sight side with all kinds of city people enjoying the day on and around the water would be awesome.

Put some small boats and pedelos in the water in front of the beach and maybe a few surfers

Great video. I think that the city’s and the ocean is looking grea

Consider widening the arch 3 studs each side. The footbridge and the Waterway joining the ocean will look more natural. And it can easily be done. And you wouldn't even need to widen the road bridge because with the train tracks and any Greenery you put in, you can give the illusion that the water is exiting from a larger area under the bridge than it actually is.

While I do like the Canal idea, I think your canal "overpasses" look too small. Living in Kttawa with a canal going through it, the scale of your water flow looks more like a culvert in scale than it does a canal entrance. Would be cool if you made it big enough for a mini fight size kayak / canoe to gravel through at least. A Lego duck could barely fit through there.

A jetty for the old fishing store world be cool

There are two different arches used for the boardwalk walls. Have you thought about making those the same?

Note to Lego: please come out with curved road plates to match the current road plate system.

Happy Father’s Day to you!

Jordan you need to get a SpiderCam when the city is finished! Amazing project man!

Wishing Jose all the best in her healing journey. Thoughts & prayers go out to you

@bricksie - Jordan, first-time poster, long-time watcher... Really like what you are doing with the new city. That said one improvement I think you should consider is moving the Kwik-E-Mart. It doesn't seem right in the residential block... maybe across the street next to the train station, but really I think it would look good over behind the beach (across from the Zoo) somewhere? Keep up the good work looking forward to seeing how you make the mountains...

The city looks so much more put together I’m loving the new downtown

beautiful, compliment!!!!

I kinda miss the old bricksie lego city before this byt still pretty amazing like your cant wait to see how it would look when the lego city gets filled with creativity .awesome.

Bricksie, in my opinion you should raise the whole city 3-4 blocks higher, thanks to this the water channel you are designing will be very natural, almost like in Venice

I think the railway would look better as double track. That's more realistic for a city.

Howdy Jordan , some fishermen would be nice on the baseplate n half on the corner 😎😎😎

I'd move the ferris wheel to the edge of the table and make a pier going to the beach buildings. That way you could have the current boardwalk could go straight on to meet the pier without the need to put a curve in it.

I'm having issues with angles and similar things as I design my grand castle MOC. I'm inspired heavily by the Lion Knights Castle, and using similar techniques, but I would love for a master builder on KZfaq to put out a solid video about LEGO math and angles, as well as SNOT techniques and brick height:width ratios.

Hi Bricksie. Sooo good to see Jose, and the twins in this video! Brilliant that the Oilers won this game too. Yay! The City is coming along beautifully. I think your viaduct for the canal was very well built, despite some people wanting a bridge etc. The logistics of elevation at that particular point would be enormous, plus the train would need a clear run to build up enough steam to get up an incline. So many aspects to consider. Always remember it's your City and you get to call the shots!

this bridge should be a statement, like Venice's Rialto Bridge. google that and even replicate it with a smaller Arch.

Boardwalk looks amazing! Man, if only i had a third of your creativity and resources!

Another awesome update on the city! Boardwalk and railway bridge are looking good. Would a bit more width to the canal under the bridges work or make it too much?

The LEGO city is really coming along, yes to more beach, no to the Oilers - I am in Florida after all 😁

Look great

Forget the lane dividers, a far bigger esthetic issue is the turn radiuses not looking right for the corner road plates ( far too acute ). In this respect, Lego road plates look better + more realistic, imo. I am wondering, wouldn't it have been perhaps easier -- and certainly cheaper -- to use Lego road plates for the roads, and build up the sidewalks to half MILS-height or so, for rigidity-sake, leaving just enough space to run wires underneath?

Celtics won their championship! 😊

You coulld stick another custom lighthouse in the free corner near the board walk

Broadwalk update Happy fathers day 🍕

Learn: I'll detail that later. When its position is locked in.
