Sidewalks are a topic I am interested in hearing peoples thoughts on. When
building your city, do you include sidewalks?
I have found that some town builders use tiles for sidewalks, which seems
strange to me. Yes, it does match the "pavement" of the road plates, but
its tough to keep a minifig upright on tile. Lately, Ive been constructing
extra large, 6 wide sidewalks using light gray plates. Not only that, Im
letting them hang out over the smooth part of the road plate, so the streets
are only 12 studs wide! This may seem odd, especially when TLC is actually
expanding their roads, but let me tell you, it makes for a much more
inviting atmosphere. With a 6 wide sidewalk, you can add trees, signs, and
benches, while still allowing for minifigs to walk comfortably.
This idea for sidewalks will probably not sound great to vehicle-heads,
especially those who love 6-8 wide creations, but I think for an overall
look, it cant be topped.
Plus, as an urban planning major, it goes with all Ive learned about
bringing the streets back to the pedestrians, in this case minifig
pedestrians. :)
By the way, are the new creator, extra wide road plates going to phase out
the current road plates?

| (...) Personally, I want to know this myself. I do NOT like the new plates and if that's the case I'm going to go crazy in buying 6320-6323. Any information would be great! Thanks. Brendan Duck360198@aol.com (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.town)
