The state government announced the next stage of Crossbell City's urban development plan in yesterday's urban planning meeting. This fifth stage consists of legislation to expand the maintenance of the Geofront, deregulate office construction, functionally enhance train stations and airports, and encourage orbal car usage. It seeks to address the needs of the city as its population and economy continue to boom.
The development plan was launched 20 years ago and has now entered its fifth stage. This announcement pairs with a forecast of economic growth for the next 10 years, which has already drawn positive public reception. 'This is terrific news,' says a woman running a street stall. 'High growth will bring stability even to neighboring countries,' says an international economist.
These predictions of the city's economic future will be crucial to foreign relations.
[Society] Acclaimed Arios MacLaine Arrives Again
Yesterday, two local boys got lost in the the Geofront. They were saved by Arios MacLaine, an A-rank bracer associated with Crossbell City's guild branch, who resolved the situation without incident.
After following leads from citizens, MacLaine found the boys within a hair's breadth of being killed by monsters deep within a sector of the Geofront. This feat truly fits his moniker, the Divine Blade of Wind.
◆Questioning the Careless Management◆
After 20 years, the urban development plan has begun its fifth stage. It has seen brilliant results year after year. However, the Downtown District has not seen nearly enough of this work. With recent incidents in the area, insufficient safety measures for children who may wander in, and unchecked monsters infesting buildings, the inefficiencies of the urban management in this district should be apparent. We request a speedy response to this issue from the government.
◆Unexpected Guests Appear◆
First mission a failure?
In other news, some unexpected faces have appeared during the recent incident. New to the CPD this year is the Special Support Section, who had also been working to save the two children. However, their efforts proved unsuccessful. According to MacLaine, '...they failed to see things through to the end.' This division was supposedly established to court public favor. How will they fare in the future?
