New Darlington Metropolitan District Project

New Darlington Metropolitan District Project is a project introduced on 17 February 2012 by Steven Wu. This plan would merge the New Darlington City and Central Region governments to form The New Darlington Metropolitan Disrict

RVFT
RVFT (Regional Very Fast Train) will be brought into planning to connect the metropolitan district to Oxford International Airport, New Darlington and Harlden

Subway
Subway lines will be built from Central Railway Station then expanding throughout the metropolitan district. This plan has been introduced by MetroLink.

Railway
Existing railway lines operated by Metro New Brunton will be upgraded, especially the ones near the CBD. The City Circle Line that has started operations months before the completion date has been installed with safety hazards in-case of an emergency in the tunnel. MetroLink the previous operator announced a metro tunnel going under the city to connect the north and the south-east of the city, Metro New Brunton has not made any announcements about the tunnel but it is likely that Metro New Brunton will begin construction in 2013.

Buses
More bus stops will be built and some upgraded to handle more capacity.

Monorail
The current monorail loop owned by Darlington Monorail will remain as is, however a new loop has been planned to connect other parts of the metropolitan district.

Roads
Existing roads will be widened and some new arterial roads and bypasses will be built across the metropolitan district. Areas closest to the CBD will be turned into a more gridded area.

Residential
More housing tenements for low-income residents will be built in the outer areas of the metropolitan district, more apartments and condos will be built in the CBD. This will offer a better future for all residents so they can easily go to their workplace.

Commercial
Commercial high-rises and mid-rises will rise from the flat grounds and extend above the current skyline of New Darlington. The tallest building in New Brunton will also be built in the current outer CBD of New Darlington.

Parks and open spaces
Large parks and open spaces will be built in certain areas of the metropolitan district. These can be used as a public gathering places and for performances or any other events.
