You may want to consider upgrading the highway to include sound barriers where it is close to the homes.

Add some cabins to the zoo at the San Diego zoo safari park the sister park (owned by same people) you can spend the night in the summer time

[@PatilG654]

Hey CCP, in the last part of vid, you placed that park maintenance building which is a good thing BUT, you should not give access to the inside area the way you placed a pedestrian street, this will let people sneak in through that building without paying for the area..!!

[@DADeathinacan]

I really do hope that part of Phase 7 is going to be adding a passenger station, not only to serve the local residents, but also to support long-distance commuters to Johnson Aggregates(perhaps even with a shuttle bus to help facilitate that) and to serve the sports complex

[@catthecat2623]

Amen! Thé area needs more transit in general, cause right now those people would contribute a lot to traffic since they don’t really have any other option to get to work or into town

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Going to see what we can do! The train line splitting the area is a freight line and the passenger line goes underground just before the area. That said, there isn't a reason why we couldn't explore some changes! Great suggestion!

[@emillybech3837]

i think using a mineral or rock theme in naming these districts and streets would make great sense. (like granite avenue, marble road or basalt street)

I don’t comment often enough bur I just wanted to let you know that your channel has been my form of self care throughout my pregnancy and life as a new mother. so many late night feedings with your city plans in my ear. I often look forward to playing your videos when I’m nap trapped under my baby. it is so soothing to watch your content and see these cities come together that we all invest so many hours in watching you pour your heart into! I always intend to contribute to the namings etc but I often just lurk. just needed you to know how much value your content brings to me. thank you, Phil.

[@blkmamba]

Commenting to say that I love VB and I hope that this series never ends. I love how you develop it and redevelop areas. It feels like a real living and thriving story. I think you story telling also helps makes me get more vested in VB and your other builds so much. But VB is still my number one!

[@murdo4243]

Until the CPU melts!

[@nicolazanini5902]

hi there, great built, quick thing: at 31:36 when you created the fire break, you involutarely created an access to JA without the gate 🙂

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Saw that during editing, too.... Time for a fix!

[@GJ203]

I came here to say this, but knew in my heart that it had already been said.

[@Bigbeezy410]

In the phase 5 or 7 area near the water, you should use mid-century modern homes and name it Johnson Estate. I believe it will give it a upscale look along with some amenities.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

My thoughts exactly!!

Love your storytelling and the extra education about real-world planning! It makes the build so much more relatable.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Thank you so much!! I have a ton of fun with it!!

[@RBargeIV]

I've been watching VB since Day 1, and this is probably my most favorite episode of the series so far. The intention behind everything made this a fun watch. Thank you, CPP!

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Thank you for being here and for the kind words! Really love putting this one together!!

The historical library could also be a museum of Johnson Aggregate, the looks could harken back to the early roots of the company!

I love this idea ~ former historian. :D

[@heavyarms55]

Thanks for having upbeat videos. Helps me limit my own depression and self loathing.

[@HandsomeLongshanks]

Go for a walk. That's not a derogatory comment, btw. I truly mean it. Take a walk on a trail through nature and see how you feel after. I hope it helps.

[@PatilG654]

hey CCP, you never know how eagerly I wait for especially verde beach episode. you are a teacher for me teaching skills regarding cities and how they develop. I learnt many things from you and also incorporated some of your ideas in my city. I play vanila so verde beach is like a crash course for me. Few days back I got an upgraded wi fi speed setup so I watched your episodes in highest resolution possible and believe me! it looks incredible..!! keep up the good work.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Thank you so much!! Glad you're enjoying the higher quality videos, too!!

[@starlgify]

I feel like developments like these often choose ironically beautiful or fancy sounding names as advertising. Thinking like "eden hills," "fairmont manor." But I like the gemstone/mineral/rock idea too!

[@CityPlannerPlays]

I like that!!

[@kramkl12]

For the zoo, I’d like to see a fountain and a picnic area. It’s one of the things I enjoy most about my hometown zoo

[@shesthebethest]

I love all the context and storytelling you do in the beginning of your videos. It's so interesting to learn how these things would work!

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Thank you, Beth!

[@DJarr216]

There's 1 tiny change I think you should make. The phase 2 path into the aggregates company should be a pedestrian road. This will give quick acces to the emergency services instead of making them drive the long way around. In case of a fire or accidentent every second counts, so retractable ballards to let emergency vehicles through just makes sense

[@thebigeasy2005]

I don’t know if anyone has said this already, and if they have, well, great minds think alike! I think you should extend the road in front of the warehouse in Johnson Aggregates a little further, then put a gate for Johnson park. I’m sure Johnson would insist on that so employees can visit the park on their lunch breaks or whatnot. As always love the content Phil, Viva Verde Beach!

Hey CPP! I work as a Site-Civil Engineer and I literally just came off a project that was in "2 Phases", but those exploded into 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B (maybe even a 2C!). Let's be glad Cities Skylines can skip all of the frustrating client meetings and hours spent in CAD! Keep up the great content.

These are my favorite kinds of episodes, dowhen verde beach grows

[@SirSamTheThird]

I work in finance and I love how intentionally you did the development, especially with how they got bigger and bigger as they went along and capital from the early phases would have come back through to fund the next phase.

[@mgunter]

I think you could add a third gate to the park at the warehouse. You already have a path going there and they built the thing, so they would ant an entrance for them.

[@alexmonk]

31:00 - you should add tollbooth Excellent city tour!

[@shadeyvillain8577]

Verde Beach and Clearwater County are my favorite show. I have been here for every episode.

[@BenRK90]

I started zoning in lots like you have been, and you're absolutely right. It turns my boring uniform neighborhoods into more natural looking areas. Thumbs up emoji.

[@vitoravila9908]

The mayor of a city that I lived at took a page from this playbook a step forward…he and his family owned the only provider of aggregates in the region(very remote area)…and, to the surprise of none, during his tenure as mayor, the city approved giant construction projects in the suburbs…we’re talking social housing, schools, public infrastructure…all with city funds…he made so much money from this that he assured the funds to keep electing himself, his family and friends as mayor and city consul….and, to top it of, as it is usual in many Brazilian cities, he named the new neighborhood after himself… high level stuff…

Hey Phil. I'd like to thank you for your content. I've watched all your video playlists.

i hope you don’t take this the wrong way but seeing that you uploaded this video helped me get out of bed today. I have really bad depression and stayed in bed all day today so this helped a lot.

[@greenmachineaustria]

Hey Phil, i would like to adress some things from the last episode regarding the zoo. - water pipes [trigger warning] in the last episode you redrew the water pipes under the new residential development next to the zoo but not in the zoo itself... maybe you did that off-camera?! - open space & seating i kinda like the look of the weeds and tall grasses but i would love to see some more open areas with picknick tables to sit down, have a break (AND THROW A FIRSBEE :P ) as well as some food trucks. i also think some more benches alongside the paths would be a nice thing to have. for the new development - i would love to see some rock features or maybe a bouldering site inside the park or next to the school. that could be something which sets this part of the city apart from other areas. instead of playing basketball the kids who grow up there are maybe more into rock climbing, who knows. - for names, i would love to see more street, district & building names representing nature instead of people, especially as this was nature until now....

[@spreeandspree]

I have a feeling the new park could use a couple more trees or shrubs to hide the adjacent warehouse.

I would be honored if you named one of the phases Phoenix Hills because of all the fires in Verde Beach. I'm a huge fan of your channel because I would like to be a town planner when I'm older and you have taught me so much about city planning. Thanks for all of your amazing videos.

[@matthewmalcolm2640]

[@DrComstar]

Some "Flintstones"-eastereggs in the neighborhood near the quarry could be fitting. Like the neighborhood of "Bedrock" or somthing like that :D

[@worbell656]

I adore the subtle storyline to the city

[@austindotorg]

This is the first time I've felt compelled to comment on something minor, but I think it would make a lot of sense to move the climbing frame in that park closer to the gate so that families with small kids (who will be using the playground) don't need to walk as far. Love these videos! :D

[@ender1598]

It seems like there should also be a side gate on industrial side so that the workers could more easily come visit on their lunch breaks and play with their kids at the climbing frame. :)

[@IceDree]

Neat! May I suggest upgrading the pedestrian path next to Johnson's Park into a pedestrian road. It'll provide a much needed crosswalk into what's effectively a super block on the arterial & gives emergency services another access point into the Ore Processing buildings. Also, a bike bridge to cross the highway/rail and connects to the bike highway. Excellent work like always, Phil.

[@ProMuchacho]

I really missed this kind of series)))

[@theaquaguru]

I had therapy today, it was heavy but good. Hope you get some well deserved attention

[@The_Irsk04]

fantastic episode Phil - once again the neighbourhood looks great especially with the tree lined roads!!! A name suggestion for phase 5 - would be River Park - River (because it is beside the major river) and Park (as the area will often be home to affluent and wealthy people due to the location - thus Park seems like a nice name for an affluent area - as well as there being a few parks in the area as well in order to increase the house prices and provide good amenities for the wealthy of the area - properly not on the hill due to there not being enough room but in the areas around it thus making it a fitting name) once again thanks for another great video and cannot wait for the next one!!! 👍👍👍

[@Meda22]

I love these kinds of episodes the most - when one actually get some interesting knowledge about city development process :) I have one idea - wouldn’t be good to make Johnson Park actually walk through to the Johnson industry area? I think people would appreciate nice walk to/from work through park - but it means to make park free of charge of course :)

[@kpfootball84]

A pond in that park would've been amazing

[@adampatterson2195]

As someone who greatly enjoys city histories, you need to develop a low-income area that has a very working-class feel. I'm from Birmingham, Alabama. The city has a major area of working-class homes and businesses that were used to house and service workers who were employed by the (now defunct) steel mills. I'd enjoy seeing some low-quality, but sufficient housing near the industry areas. Good stuff as always CPP.

[@LtexprsGaming]

Hey Phil, just wanted to let you know that you did an amazing job with this new development. 1 thing I did notice however is that you missed an upgrade to the arterial road going to Johnson Aggregates. You can see what I'm talking about at the start of the city tour 44:12 , there's a segment or 2 that is still a 2 lane road instead of the upgraded 4 lane road.

[@nealjroberts4050]

I do enjoy how well Verde Beach has come along despite being mostly vanilla! I think the early phases of the Johnson development might be named for prominent _members_ of the family: Richard, William, Peter, Rodger, etc. Then perhaps the stadium could be named after a major investor? Pecker Stadium has quite the ring to it (Prince Albert does too but wouldn't be considered for an American project). (😋 sometimes my punnage gets the better of me, sorry)

[@theobenkaya]

Always the best storylines

[@Yes_I_Would_Kent]

Would Johnson Aggregates review their Toll Road positioning into their production areas to improve road connectivity in the new development? Would the city have any say in these decisions, or make it a requirement in order to greenlight the new neighbourhoods? Would love the detailing of these phases to include more rocky assets to have synergy with Johnson Aggregates!

[@CityPlannerPlays]

I think Johnson Aggregates could make a compelling argument to prevent the connectivity for safety concerns. I think it'd be more likely that they'd discuss what would happen after the mine is no longer productive and how it would be filled in and connections made at that point. Great point and I'll get some more rocky assets added!

[@Yes_I_Would_Kent]

@@CityPlannerPlays thanks for the reply, I appreciate that and it makes sense! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the phases planned out. Have a great day!

Phil I think it would make sense to switch the location of the post office and clinic so the clinic would get the best access to the parking lot

[@ArgaAnders]

[@frenchfriar]

I think it might be fun to name the streets in these neighborhoods after famous Johnsons: Lyndon Boulevard, Ladybird Avenue, Dwayne Johnson Street. Glad you made that through connection, I lived in a neighborhood that had two dead ends that were supposed to have been extended, and only one ever got extended, the other got blocked by an apartment complex. I liked the additions to the zoo, too.

[@Pyrovile42]

Great episode!

[@vedantdesai418]

Hi Phil! I have a suggestion for both VB and CWC: I think you should have an extremely upscale neighborhood with each house having a pool and many community amenities and tree lines streets and all that. For the houses I think you should do ploppables and pick out the biggest homes you have. Love the videos! Edit: Midcentury modern homes would look great here

[@ttyler7256]

In Verde Beach there is already Sterling Heights, which is built for rich folk, but adding the mid-century modern theme might fit there very well.

[@heatcooker1]

you can use pedestrian roads instead of paths to allow emergency vehicle access

[@adenbell16]

Your videos not only guide me but inspire me in this game. I love the content and it's endless enjoyment. Thank you for all your work ❤️

[@colevinson5578]

About Johnson Park. I think this is actually a great design for a suburb park. Alot of parks in the suburbs or at least where I'm from are barely built in just like Johnson park. There is usually some paths, maybe a gazebo, hiking trails, and if it's a larger park they might add in a sports facility for tennis, baseball, basketball etc

[@dr.fabrizioprado1361]

I think you'll need a roundabout connecting those 2 arterials between phases 2 and 3. Great to see this planning in phases.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

You might be right there! Worked really well on the other side of the highway!

[@matthewfichter5549]

[@jave2274]

A pedestrian bridge between "Phase 2" and the other side of the highway and train track would be very valueable. It opens up the developement to the city. In my home city they did something like this to connect a train station to a big shopping center.
