@ryderlynch2281 Жыл бұрын

One possible change you may want to consider is the addition of a "trucks only" entry and exit, leaving the main entrance road for shoppers to alleviate the traffic into the shopping center. Aside from that, maybe add in small residential apartments maybe? The corners of the triangle the areas makes could possibly be a nice spot for nice upscale apartments. It would allow the workers somewhere close to work to live.

I was one of the people who were complaining about this retail park. Thank you for listening us! It looks much better now! But I still have an idea: another separeted lane for the lorrys and trucks before the "half-roundabout" there and back as well. If you do it nicely, from the top it will be similar to new Tesla Gigafactory roads 😂 It won't slow down the cars to and from the retail park. At the Metro station the pedestrians are walking across the road constantly. Can you put the station to the pedestrian area?

@Burninnapalm Жыл бұрын

Hi Biffa! The area is a vast improvement over the Illuminati Center you had previous. I suggest making the service loop road completely separate from the customer loop road to improve the customer experience. You could have the service loop come directly off the highway to the back of the shops, and have the service road go under the customer loop near the underground station to help improve not only traffic flow, but keep the customer facing side free of truck traffic.

@shaneintheuk2026 Жыл бұрын

This is a massive improvement over the triangular one. It is a shame the Pedestrian Roads cause the shops to require a pedestrian area even though you have the spawn point behind the shop. I suspect you could use paths instead and it would work.

@Superduper243 Жыл бұрын

That looks soooo much better Biffa! 👏🏼 I love the plazas and trees through the middle. Makes it look like a place of interest instead of just a place to shop, well done! Few points, it needs more road connections! The road behind Morrison's is screaming for one. Maybe another connection to a main road from the waste facility too? Also, supermarkets usually have their parking in the front of the store right? With the cars parking parallel to the building as it makes it safer for pedestrians to walk from their cars

@darrensummers5052 Жыл бұрын

Welcome back Blightea! Thought this day would never come 😅 that shopping park is massive improvement on the last one which I’ll admit baffled me when it was originally made. I also couldn’t help but notice that huge residential demand. Thinking you’ve got some major expanding to do very shortly.. maybe even a city centre of sorts with high density UK style buildings to erect? 🤔🤔🤔

@Quiapecavinimiscogitatione Жыл бұрын

Blighty! I missed you Blightea-on-the-wold! Now the shopping center no longer looks like a series of warehouses. However, I think you should connect the waste facility to another road that is not one way so as not to clog traffic on the shopping center. You can also have the service points on that same road.

@ScottF-hh5yj Жыл бұрын

Another great video Biffa! Blightea is my favourite series atm. Great to see this town coming along. This looks much better than the old retail park. There are some minor housekeeping things that people have been mentioning in the comments; and it’s really awesome of you to consider those things as improvements to your build. I do think that the parking for the ‘flagship’ Morrison’s supermarket needs to be at the front of the store, not behind it. Lastly, I’d love to see some more leisure units in that trading estate; depending upon what assets are available. Maybe a cinema, or a gym? Keep up the good work!

As a diehard Biffa fans for years now, I believe I can say with 99% confidence - those two paths that connect the shopping center to the neighborhood are a crime against humanity. Bro. You went and fixed a monster - made it beautiful 10/10 on the upgrades and then boom, those two paths. Lower the road to better height? Nah... Use a tunnel for the walking paths? Oh no my friend. Create the elevated paths of shame? Perfection. That is definitely not cool beans Biffa. Not cool beans at all. Shopping Center looks great though, and I look forward to the next episode with meteor #2 for those paths my friend. :) Oh, and keep up the great work!!!

Nice to see another Blightea episode.. the trading estate is sooooo much better than before! I think it would make sense, now that you're using the pedestrian service buildings that the delivery trucks have a designated entrance/exit. Thinking of trading estates near me, you don't see the trucks using the same roads as customers, and with just a small T junction it's gonna get extremely busy... I also think an entertainment complex on the other side of the viaduct would add some synergy. Cinema, bowling alley, more restaurants, that kind of stuff...

Love your series! The other line of shops had complained bc you might have forgotten to move pick up points for them as well. If you want to keep pedestrian zone there, service points might look better next to the recycling facilities on the other side of railway, with their own connection to the highway. And like that, separate visitors and delivery traffic. New shopping center was a great idea and look amazing!

It turned out great, much better than before. To deal with the incoming traffic, I would put the outside lane as trucks and service vehicles only because they are forced round anyway, and the second lane only for private vehicles and buses. It seemed to me they are all using the outside lane. So the tailback wouldn't be as far as it was.

This is a huge improvement, but you seem to have way more car parking than you need, and also having the trucks driving across the front of Morrissons, where they cross paths with the customer traffic and pedestrians, is weird. One thing I did like about the previous design was the attempt to keep the lorries away from the punters.

@andrewwhewell6422 Жыл бұрын

Great start on this area and feels like it can be developed as you slowly surround it with residential areas (that bit the other side of the railway viaduct screams residential new build to me) I think others have mentioned it, but a cinema and some late night eateries would be a good addition. That metro station needs to be loved as there's too much contention between the pedestrians and the traffic... It doesn't break the game but it just doesn't look safe. A little transit hub would be lovely although in reality there would be no public transit to a place like this in real life!

Instead of parking either side and the parks on the inside, (which forces people to park on one side and then drive or walk through a parking lot to the shops on the other side) why not have the metro station and parking all in the middle. Then flank that one big parking lot with the parks and such. That way, they can park and are equal distance from both sides and the parking lot is bit more obscured by the green space on either side.
