History (fictional)

Ventana Avenue was one of the four original north-south avenues that crossed the center of the City of Adustelan (the others being Myrtle, Soundsurf, and Ocean). The road first appeared on maps in 1900. It was originally a two-lane road.

1996 Ventana Avenue Pileup

On August 11, 1996, a twenty-car pileup occurred at the intersection of Ventana Avenue and Agnes Street near the Ventana Arms at the Marigold Apartment Complex in City Center. Two people died and 19 were injured, some severely. The crash rose concerns regarding the safety of the road, as the road becomes heavily congested during peak hours due to its proximity to the most densely populated neighborhoods in the city. In 1999, The Group for the Widening of Ventana Avenue presented their case to the Adustelan Department of Transportation, though responses did not come immediately. In 2006, at a press conference, the commissioner of the Department of Transportation expressed his advocacy for the widening of Ventana Avenue within the next decade.

2012 Widening and Extension

In November 2012, work began on the widening of Ventana Avenue. The project also included the demolition of Walkfront Street east of the former Ventana Avenue northern terminus and its integration as an extension, Ventana Boulevard. The project cost roughly $21 million and involved the demolition of several low rise buildings on the east side of Ventana Avenue. Widening was completed in September 2013, and the Ventana Boulevard extension, connecting Ventana Avenue to East Kempton and the new waterfront neighborhood of Ventana Beach, was completed in December 2013.

Development in Minecraft

Ventana Avenue was the fourth of the original avenues to be built and named. It was originally a two lane road, as the fictional history states, though it was first built in 2011. It originally extended to Walkfront Street, but it was widened and lengthened from September to December 2013, sporadically. This also allowed for the development of land east of the Ingram-Faust Expressway by the waterfront, and allowed for the construction of Forest Cove County Park.
