Ralston Courthouse

On the corner of South Shore Rd and McGarrigle Rd, will be the Ralston courthouse. It will be the hub of civil and criminal affairs for the entire city. It will be this adequately sized brick building, with large white pillars in front. Inside will be two courtrooms, one for civil trial and another for criminal. The Town will host two judges, which are to be elected every five years. One for the civil division, and another for the criminal division. With the rate of crime high in Ralston, this project will allow the city to handle its own affairs, and to begin cracking down on crime in Ralston. In the long run, the quality of life and Ralston’s appearance to people outside the city will improve. The project will also be near City Hall, and shall create a new government center, where all of Ralston’s affairs can be handled. By keeping them in proximity, it allows people to know that their is an essential heart, to the governing of the city.  This could realistically create a new contact zone right in the heart of Ralston, and allow for everyone in Ralston to interact with each other in a part of town focused on the way Ralston is governed.
