Add four regions to restore lost passage along Corsica south coast
DavidLeigh Resident
Just south of Corsica continent there was a line of private estate sims which provided passageway for marine craft, aircraft, space craft. Recently, the owner of these regions took them offline permanently, eliminating a key passage way to western Corsica and places in that environs. This request asks that only FOUR regions be created, each one south of the existing Neyaci, Optiman, Plague Port, and Feersum regions. This would provide marine, air, and space traveling residents clear passage across the stretch of Corsica south shoreline that was eliminated above.

Hello. I support this and vote up on it.
Usually not possible to fly or sail through Azure waters route now to go to Corsica without get hit with with sales IMs or security orbs.
Would be very nice for sim wide corridor to get to Corsica without all of that.

Thank you for your work here David (and to all that put in the work). I'm on board.

The passage is very importart for the Second Life community of sailors and aviators for keeping the regions connected and give the users the experience of connected waters and parcels: all people that usually fly and sail end now their jorney againt an invisible wall (the offline sims) and are now avoiding to sail and fly in those regions. At the same way, this causes a lack of traffic in those regions near that are for rent and missed new renters. So these are the reasons that the passage should be opened to saling and flying

Upvoting this. If we can afford all those free to use commercial district regions in the Enclave, we can afford a few homestead connector regions.

Timothy McGregor This point was actually part of my thinking too. I sometimes think that putting a region in place costs a bunch of money. And then I see entire neighborhoods pop up like those commercial regions. I understand they are free to qualified people. I honestly don't know how much it costs for them to create a region, but we are only talking about a few - four. Last year someone made a suggestion for Gaeta V that didn't even involve new regions; it just involved moving some unnecessary ones to cover areas where simcrossing is only thru a tiny corner - not even big enough for my small boat without it jumping spasmodically. But they replied that they had no plans to change mainland back then. I hope they rethink these things. Anyway, we'll see what happens.

DavidLeigh Resident Yeah. Your only challenge here is that you're asking for Linden regions to provide connectivity to a private/3rd party estate. That's where they might raise objections.

Coming from https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/532593-restoring-lost-water-passage/ where someone else just reposted this, so I'll just copy my comment I wrote there:
"eliminating a key passage way to western Corsica and places in that environs"
Not really. There is a continuous protected waterway on the world edge through Edge Walker and Optiman, of course it is narrow and not great for air traffic because of the region corner, but sufficient for watercraft, also virtually no risk of obstructions on that waterway. The connection through the Azure Estate is still in place, so while a rather long detour, you can still fly over there for your convenience, such as avoiding security orbs in Corsica regions.
"This request asks that only FOUR regions be created, each one south of the existing Neyaci, Optiman, Plague Port, and Feersum regions."
Why so many? One just south of Optiman would be just enough, since the southern edge of Novatron is protected water, so if you pay attention to your minimap while flying (as you should), you can enter Novatron, stay on that protected water parcel, enter Neyaci, and then you could enter the newly added region and then cross to Optiman smoothly, avoiding the tiny corner parcel in Edge Walker. No need for 4 regions just for this.
"This would provide marine, air, and space traveling residents clear passage across the stretch of Corsica south shoreline that was eliminated above."
Ironically, quite a few parcels in those now gone regions were orbed, because they weren't Surreal's, and their restrictions didn't apply there.

AlettaMondragon Resident I beg to differ about, "Virtually no risk of obstruction on that waterway," at the southern edge of Optiman. I've sailed it in the last year and there was a beach sticking out into it. I filed two reports, and it has been removed, but I doubt it's as secure as you might think.

CWLingLee Resident You could just ask the owner or a manager of that rental business there, they care about keeping the surrounding public spaces clear. They even provide an important waterway where wouldn't be one otherwise. That's why I said

Add my +1 to this! As an avid pilot in SL, freedom of navigation is very important to me!

Please restore the passage!!!

This is a very important passage to the continent. We need this for all sailors and pilots. Please open this passage for us!

I agree, this passage allowed pleasant air and sea navigation. It allowed you to reach Corsica without following the coastline full of orbs.

I agree. This would be a great improvement and restore freedom of movement in that area
