Land & Public Works

Hey, I recently tried to go skiing with friends in Wengen and wanted to use the ski lift from the info hub in Wengen to get up the mountain and ski down from there. Unfortunately, we realised that the ski lift wasn't working at all and the Cable Tower ski lift in the valley was completely missing. Is there any way of restoring the tower and getting it up and running again, or can we tick off this leisure activity? http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wengen/103/240/95 https://ibb.co/WWGLTsW

For this idea, I'm suggesting that 3-4 regions of abandoned mainland are built out as forest on each mainland continent. A 'real life' example might be something like a national forest found in the US. Each continent could have it's own theme for the forest (jungle, swamp, redwood, beachy?, etc.), and have trails/plants/flora/fauna. Each forest would have a small rez zone (so you can rez a bike or a horse or something). PROS You don't need to make any new regions. Claim 3 to 4 regions in areas that are mostly abandoned. Every mainland continent has spots like this. You add instant real estate value to all of those parcels near the new forest that didn't have any value before - a 'protected Linden Forest view' on the mainland would be awesome. Volunteers could build it. The precedent has already been laid for volunteers to build large scale events/projects in association with the Mole and Linden teams. I am confident that a call for volunteers would yield an amazing a list of mainland loving builders. Cost to build it would just be whatever time is needed for the Linden / Mole to keep an eye on how the builder team is doing. CONS I have no idea how you'd 'sell those parcels' near the forest in a fair way, but I'm sure there are lessons learned from 'the old days' about how to release new land for people to purchase etc.

Nowadays it is so hard to find nice land at reasonable prices for anyone who just wants to run a small business or have their own private little place. I looked near water and land after land were Renters with outrageous prices made to lure in tenants to rent their lands. I tried in auctions, but any nice spot goes to those who can afford it. I finally found some abandoned land along a road with a few pretty homes around and an open view to the ocean and so I asked to purchase it. A little over 5000 sqm. Across the road in front of my new land was another abandoned land facing the ocean but not right on the water. The shape of the land would not have suited my purpose. After a week, someone else asked to purchase it. The built a huge elevated platform, and a house with several floors with high ceilings. And to make it worse they erected a huge prim with an image on it the width of their land. The house and image was right up against the road and totally blocked my view of the ocean. I would have had to raise a platform 125m to be free of the obstruction. A day later they put up their parcel for sale at $9.49 per sqm, a day after paying Linden only 1L per sqm for the abandoned land. In my opinion, anyone who buys abandoned land should not be allowed to sell it during the first 30 days or so, or they should have to return it to Linden if they change their mind. I feel it's about time Linden starts to take control of something that has gotten way out of control. I would love to just find a beautiful spot to build without the invasion of Real estate tycoons hogging up all the beautiful ocean view lands.

With the Anniversary of Bay City coming up this weekend, it's well past time for Bay City to be connected to the rest of the Sansara road network. I've been able to physically walk out two proposed paths. Both paths would be entirely on Linden owned lands, not taking any resident parcels from existing owners.. The proposed route would start at the info hub in Dore (where the existing road out of Nova Albion ends). Continue south through the Morris sandbox and along the eastern side of historic Oak Grove, though through the portion where there are no builds. Enter into the vehicle sandbox sims and follow one of two paths from that point: Move south at Bethel and use the existing vehicle sandbox pathways and bridge system to translation to a coastal road in Ouranos, dropping into a tunnel or under-water road along the southern edge of Mnemosyne and the southern most edge of Abbotts (currently LL owned), then up the canal in Cowell, connecting to the road at the Noyo parking lot. Continue east through the vehicle sandbox, moving under water at Kapor, through the existing waterway in Stinson, under the "Bay of Space Pigs" and connecting with the roadway in either Rodeo or Omidyar. Both routes would require an underwater road or tunnel system, though considering the quality work with such routes in Jeogeot, there's plenty of precident for that! As stated, we walked both routes from start to finish and found either LDPW or Governor Linden owned parcels the entire way. Happy to walk the route with anyone as well.

Please connect Route 3A to Route 2 at the end where it meets up with the Box Office for the Pyri Funfair. There's currently protected land that goes most of the way and then there's abandoned land that would allow it to connect the rest of the way. At the very least, please reserve the abandoned land so the project CAN be done sometime in the future! Adding this route connecting Route 3A to Route 2 will allow people to go from the inside of the continent to the outside. Currently there's no way to do this unless you go significantly out of your way either north or south. 3A itself is just a dead end. I've attached an image with the proposed routing. I'm already personally building a route connecting Route 1, Route 6, and Route 3A together via Parva and Deltote. Although it won't be fit for heavy vehicles like semi-trucks, it will allow for smaller vehicles to connect to all three. I'd love to work directly with the lab to make this route more realistically viable, but have been informed LL does not work directly with individuals on builds even when meant for the community at large.

Zindra roads look ike ice or glass and it's quite terrible. I'll be glad to volunteer for this if need be.

A link has become possible between route 12A in the north of Nautilus at Camorro and route 13 in the south at Plenodyes, across abandoned land (orange on the attached map). My suggested route is the red line. This would resolve a longstanding gap in the road network, finally linking the two ends of the continent. Would this be possible? As observed elsewhere (Satori/Mãebaleia), this would make the land around it much more attractive.

Wondering if we can get this running again please? There are plenty of examples in all the grid of running, working systems. Including the one in Bay City! Historic Nova Albion sure would be more complete with it. We have the tracks, we have the skylines, we even have the trolley. Just needs a new engine pretty please?

Having seen the exhibit at the SL Birthday this year, it is clear the moles are capable of some wonderful art. I think it would be great if a new building set of road pieces and assorted decorations could be produced, using mesh and PBR with the aim of upgrading the appearance of Mainland roads. I think this combined with the eventual PBR Terrain rollout will send the Mainland well on it's way to a refreshed new look that everyone will be able to enjoy, and help the Mainland to exist in the present, rather than just the past.

Please complete the coastline of Heterocera continent by adding one water region to the west side of Tiger region. This will complete the perimeter coastline of Heterocera, enabling north/south boat travel on the continent's west side, as well as making a full loop of the continent possible for the first time.
