Do we need a max size?

I was thinking a max size so that the cross roads would work and so there • is
a "standard" to work with.(my whole point of this)and we get a more block
feel.

I like towns where the blocks are not all the same size, personally, and
it's often necessary to fit into a given table area.

If there was no max size, there would be nothing stopping you standardizing
as a club or personally on a 2x3 baseplate block, but it wouldn't restrict
others who might not need or want that restriction.

Ok... now the fun part is we still need to come up a good standard for
connecting buildings....:-)

If I am following this right, standard block 2 x 3, add roads on 2, 3 or 4
sides depending on placement in block group.  If you fill the block, then
attachment to other buildings would be self contained on your block.
Sidewalks would be on road plate with building overlaping the road plate by
one stud for connection.
Matthew if you can fill a 2x3 or more block then that works.But what we are
now talking about are people builing on just one baseplate(for those who do
not wish to build more or can't build larger).If we can come up with a good
system we can take a couple of peoples buildings link them together to make
a single block(2x3 or 2x4 or whatever)then slap down some roads around
them.Weather we have the buildings hang over a stud still needs to be
decided upon.
Any standard on skywalks, street light, traffic light placement?
I have my standard for my downtown but that is something else we need to
figure out also. Chris MichLTC/MichLUG
