Everett City is a city located in New York State and the capital of the Union of Everett. Everett City, finishing construction, will be Everett's second largest city with room for expansion to become the largest city. When completed, Everett City will be capable of housing as least ten million people.
The city is inland. The closest water source is the Delaware River that separates New York from Pennsylvania. Everett City varies in landscape with sections similar to that of San Francisco's steep hills and roads to flat land area. A mountain stands in the southwest section of the city, along Interstate 84, standing at over 1,000 feet tall but still dwarfed by the city's skyscrapers. The mountain highway has parking points that overlook the western section of the city with Everett City International Airport in the far background. The mountain resides in Everett City Central Park, built around it.
Infrastructure
Transportation
Three interstate highways run through Everett City, Interstate 84 and Interstate 86 and a third newly built route, Interstate 387, built to reduce congestion on Interstates 84, 86 and 87. Both older interstates were expanded to four lanes across for each side. A fourth route was constructed, the Everett City Skyway, known as I-186. Underneath the city is a state of the art subway system, above the ground is a monorail system and a railroad system. A bus and taxi service, both owned by the Metro Transit Authority (MTA), which runs the systems in New York City, provides public transportation. A new rail system, the Maglev, runs through and stops at Everett City, from New York City, on its way to Albany.
The streets were carefully laid out, carefully planned ahead for parking. Streets are three lanes across for each side of the street, making it a total of six lanes. Small streets are two lanes each side and one way streets are two lanes wide. There is no parallel parking as all parking spots are tilted spots so cars can easily pull in and pull out, also providing more parking spaces. Everett City is known as the most parking friendly city in the nation, featuring both the tilt spots, increasing available street side parking and advanced parking meters utilizing a credit card slot for purchasing parking time. A car owner may slide a credit card through the meter and dial the length of time in hours and minutes for which they will be parking with a limit up to 24 hours. Meters may also use quarters which each quarter adds a half hour to parking time. Parking is usually also available underground in private company garages throughout the city at higher fees. All streets have been constructed snow resistant. Underneath the roads are a steam and heating system to keep the streets heated during the winter months. This innovation prevents snow from building up on the streets and cuts out the need for snow plows, thus saving money, time, accidents and space.
Everett City and the surrounding Hudson Valley region is served by two airports and an additional three within driving distance. Everett City International Airport is the largest airport in the country and the primary airline service for Everett City and the Lower Hudson Valley of New York State. EVX is its FAA code. EVX provides airlines such as Everett Airways, JetBlue, Air Canada, AirTran, United Continental, Delta, American Airlines and US Airways. The longest landing strip is over five miles long, designed to being an emergency landing strip for space shuttles. The airport is also used as the official center for the Presidential airplane, Air Force One, and functions as an air force base, Everett City AFB, to the north, and Capital Region Air Guard Station. A second, smaller international airport exists to the east, Stewart International Airport, located in neighboring city of Newburgh. Stewart formerly provided both a local international airport and a National Air Guard base. Stewart Air Guard was shifted to operated at Everett City AFB. Stewart International (FAA code SWF) provides additional airline space and travel, hosting airlines such as JetBlue, Delta, Allegiant and US Airways.
Utilities
Everett City is one of twenty one locations in Everett where a fusion power plant is located. The Everett City Fusion Power Center is a large fusion generator capable of powering all of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island. It is located in the northwest outskirts of the city, on the border of Orange and Ulster counties.
The water to the city comes from a direct line from the Atlantic Ocean. A massive array of water stations and desalination plants were constructed in mid New Jersey. Water is pumped directly from that location to Everett City. A second water source comes from the Delaware River to the southwest of the city.
Structures
Everett City has a highway tunnel that runs from the southwest side of the city to the northeast side, to aid drivers in avoiding traffic when travelling from Port Jervis to Middletown two small cities in the outskirts of Everett City.
Several super-scrapers have been constructed in Everett City, which dwarf the tallest buildings on Earth. Skyline Tower houses over one hundred companies and businesses and stands at 142 floors and 1,950 feet tall. The Diamond Center stands at 75 floors or 999 feet and caters to dozens of corporations. It has the largest amount floor area of any building on Earth. Aeris Tower is one of the world's largest apartment buildings, rising to 65 floors at 920 feet. Liberty Tower, newly completed, stands at 190 floors or 2,420 feet tall, just barely shorter than the United Arab Emirates' Burj Dubai. Even though Liberty Tower is shorter than the Burj, it contains at least two times as much office and living space, making it a larger structure than the Burj Dubai.
