Hi!

I asked a question a few months back about the protected land in Wainscot and whether it was due to be turned into a road/railway. I was told that this was the plan and I wondered if there was any expected completion time?

Are the roads still being actively built? My place is in Wainscot which is way up North on the northern continent (should we name these continents/regions of islands?:)) and I'm well aware of how the roads can increase traffic and land value so I'm keen to see Wainscot paved if possible.

I mentioned to Stephen Linden in Live Help about the possibility of a volunteer programme to help get the roads built and wondered if this was a possibility? I'm not just looking to have Wainscot paved, I'd like to see all sims paved if they should be... I'd also like to see the voids between the two continents bridged but I appreciate the techincal implications there...

Back to the question anyway; if the paving is still ongoing, when should we expect Wainscot to be paved, and if it's not, can I do it and give the land to the Maintenance or a Linden group? I'm well aware of the pitfalls of sim-crossing prims and am quite able to line up prims properly and cut them off at the edges of a sim so they avatar doesn't fall through as would happen if a prim crosses the border. I'd just need the proper textures so they match up properly (not that I expect to be allowed to do it you understand!)

Any chances? Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Hi Landing,

Good question! Yes we have still been leaving room for roads and pathways across the mainland, but the work involved to add and maintain such long stretches of linden content is significant - and the newer regions have not had this work done as yet.

We are discussing this issue at the moment actually; employing residents to help is an option that is being considered but how that would operate and how residents would be chosen or reimbursed or supervised - well, there is a lot to discuss. *smiles*

Once we have a clearer view on how to handle this, we'll be sure to blog about it.
