BRC layout

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed May 05, 2004 10:44 am

I saw a written description of the 2004 city layout somewhere, either on JRS or the main site, can’t remember. It described the distance from the man to the esplanade, widths and distances apart of the roads, circumference of center camp and plazas, etc.
Making a scale model of the city for an art project and already have it drawn on CAD but wanted to see the description again for some verification. Can’t seem to find it now.

Maybe it was the 2003 layout...

Wasn't that in the legal docs, like the permit??

That was in JRS a few weeks ago. I am not at home, and I cannot seem to find a JRS archive on the site...I'll try to remember to post it tonight...
