At the | '''Rosslyn''', officially the '''City of Rosslyn''', is a city in the [[Verona|Commonwealth of Verona]] and the seat of [[Santa Rosa County, Verona|Santa Rosa County]]. At the 2030 census, the population was 766,301, making it the eighth-most populous city in Verona and the nineteenth-most populous city in [[Cartadania]]. The city has annexed a number of unincorporated areas, contributing to the large population increase over the past two decades, while also focusing efforts on urbanizing its more core regions and reducing car dependency across its local area. Coupled with rapid urban development and a higher than average birthrate, Rosslyn has the highest percent population growth per year of any city in [[Cartadania]], though this trend has begun to slow as housing costs in the city have risen. | ||
Rosslyn is | Rosslyn is one of 77 cities across five counties that constitute the [[Palm Coast metropolitan area]], named for the abundance of palms along Verona's northeastern coastlines. It is the southernmost city in the metropolitan region and its seventh-most populous. | ||

Rosslyn is served by [[Ivy Rosslyn Hospital]] (IRH), Ivy Santa Rosa Medical Center (ISRMC), and Buenayuda Medical Center (BMC). | Rosslyn is served by several prominent medical facilities, including [[Ivy Rosslyn Hospital]] (IRH), which is the largest in the county with 1,265 beds, Ivy Santa Rosa Medical Center (ISRMC), and Buenayuda Medical Center (BMC). Additionally, the city hosts specialized institutions such as Rosslyn Children's Hospital and Fairhill Transitional Care Hospital, catering to pediatric and transitional care needs respectively. Rosslyn is also home to the [[Verona Institute of Technology|Verona Tech]]'s [[VIT Tirani School of Medicine|Medical School]], which utilizes Ivy Rosslyn Hospital as its primary teaching hospital, providing advanced medical education and training to future healthcare professionals. | ||
Rosslyn is | Ivy Rosslyn Hospital is the only combined Tier 1 Adult and Pediatric Trauma Center located south of downtown Sierra, playing a critical role in the region's emergency healthcare infrastructure. Trauma patients from other hospitals in southern Andina County, Lavanda County, and southern Sinhedes County are airlifted to IRH by Ivy's Nightingale Air Ambulance to assist in rapid and specialized care. The city is also home to a network of smaller healthcare centers and clinics distributed across its districts, ensuring that most citizens have convenient access to healthcare services. For those residing further from medical facilities, Rosslyn's extensive transportation network provides efficient access to both smaller clinics and major hospitals, facilitating comprehensive healthcare coverage throughout the city. | ||

Rosslyn and its surrounding areas in Santa Rosa County receive transit services through the [[Palm Coast Metropolitan Transit Authority]] (PCMTA), part of the [[Palm Coast metropolitan area|metropolitan government consortium]]. Historically, Rosslyn's transit needs were served exclusively by buses and commuter rail, which created a dependency on automobiles within the city's immediate metro area. In the early 2010s, the city government authorized the construction of the Tide Light Rail (RTLR) as a response to being repeatedly excluded from the Palm Coast Light Rail's (PCLR) planned service area. The PCMTA cited prohibitive costs as the reason for Rosslyn's exclusion. Consequently, the city allocated $366 million from its budget for the construction and integration of its own light rail service, with an additional $80 million allocated annually for maintenance and related expenses. | |||
Despite being a standalone service, the Tide Light Rail and Palm Coast Light Rail utilized the same fare system in accordance with Verona law, allowing for interoperable metro cards and seamless transfers between the two systems. The RTLR's Green Line featured an exchange station near the [[Andina County, Verona|Andina]]-Santa Rosa County line in the city of [[Pirasende, Verona|Pirasende]], enabling RTLR riders to transfer to the PCLR's Green Line and connect to other major cities in the Palm Coast area. | |||
In 2030, an agreement was reached between the city of Rosslyn and the PCMTA whereby the metropolitan authority would reimburse the city for its expenditures related to the Tide Light Rail. In return, the city would transfer control of the light rail system to the PCMTA, allowing for its integration into the broader transit network. Consequently, on 1 March 2031, after realigning tracks at the PCLR-RTLR transfer on the Green Line to facilitate through-running, the RTLR was incorporated into the PCLR as the Siren Branch lines. The five RTLR lines—Red, Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple—were re-designated within the PCLR system. The RTLR Green Line was merged with the existing PCLR Orange Line, retaining the Orange Line's color designation, and the RTLR Orange Line was redesignated as the Gold Line. | |||

Rosslyn is served by an extensive network of bus lines that ensures all of its residents have access to the broader metropolitan area, tying the region's cities even closer together. Historically, the automobile was the primary means of transportation for the majority of residents due to focus primarily around the central metropolitan area rather than its peripheries, and as such, Rosslyn is also supported by a comprehensive network of freeways and highways. [[Verona State Highway 80|State Highway 80]] traverses the city, and its proximity to various other state highways provides numerous routes for residents. The Palm Coast Beltway, designated as [[Verona State Highway 40|State Highway 40]], passes just inside the northern city limits and offers direct connections to downtown Sierra, Lynnhaven, the Twin Cities, and central Andina County. | |||
All of the city's controlled-access highways and freeways feature separated High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes, which offer express routes and higher speeds compared to their untolled counterparts. Consistent with the customary practices in the Palm Coast area, all express lanes are configured with HOV 2+ lanes on the left and general toll lanes on the right, with the tolls for general lanes being higher than those for HOV 2+. In recent years, the metro authority has contemplated increasing the HOV requirement to 3+ due to the high volume of drivers in the area; however, this proposal has faced opposition from residents. | |||
While traffic congestion is typically not a significant issue outside the Sierra urban core, thanks to the extensive integration of public transit, certain areas still experience severe congestion during peak seasons, particularly during major festivals and holidays. Currently, no interstate highways connect Rosslyn or Santa Rosa County to other regions. However, the city is included in an impact study evaluating the potential extension of [[Cartadania Interstate 53]] southward into the city limits, with a proposed terminus at State Highway 80. | |||
