City Street Layout Help

If I remember correctly, a 'normal' city has 10-12 blocks per mile. At least in the mid-west.
So your bridge is about three normal city blocks wide.
Or a wide boulevard with a block of houses & small businesses on either side.

Looks like your urban packing is a little dense.

Hey bkh. Thanks for the reply. Does this apply to Medieval style cities and older, regarding block sizes? Sorry i didnt specify. Thanks again!

My comment was more aimed at giving you a feeling for the amount of space you are dealing with.

I've not studied the medieval era, but my feeling is that things were rather cramped and crowded by our standards.
So yes, the buildings will be a lot smaller and crowded together, especially the working-class residential buildings and shops.
Our early colonial period might be a reasonable analogy for building sizes.
Of course the affluent have larger residences and places of business.
