We Don't Need Roads

One of the cool/infuriating things here is that the roads don't always connect.

For example, I'm on Galer Street, looking up at the stairs that connect me to Galer Street on a different avenue. Galer doesn't actually run the whole length of the area, but is broken up by these stairs. Our street is like this as well, and it is especially frustrating for cabbies, who frequently call as tell me that they're at my street but can't see it.

On the flipside though, it does keep the grid relatively easy to remember, and provide some very pretty stairways to walk along.
