After creating a experimental shop on a 16x16 baseplate I came up with
a few problems and I know some of them have been said befor.

I think that the road should be made with 16x32 tan basplates, set
between the shops facing each other. With a required 2 stud offset in the
back for the alleyway, so a figure could use the alleyway. Another 2 stud
offset from the front so that they arn't right on the road with a tan plate
to make a path to the shop. Then you could have an overhang in the back of
1 stud and an overhang in the front of two studs. Doing it this way you get
a little more room because then the max building area without an overhang
would be 12x16 and with overhang it would be 15x16. Where now without the
overhang the max building area is 11x16. This would also solve the problem
of a cart being as wide as the road and would make the road look used.

Two more ideas, if the work and are alowed. A large corner shop on a
32x32 that is set in corectly and takes up the space of both corner spots.
Or one shop on a 16x32 plate that gose from one rode to the other, it would
have doors at both sides and would cross through and stop the alleyway at
that spot. See below.

[ ] = the other shops, ] [ = the alleyway and * = the walls of the
shop described above.

Any ways that is my thoughts on this.

P.S. I do like the idea quite well even if it dose not look like it by
the way I have been suggesting changes.
