'''Rosslyn''', officially the '''City of Rosslyn''', is a city in the [[Verona|Commonwealth of Verona]]. At the 2020 census, the population was 542,818, making it the tenth-most populous city in Verona. The city has annexed a number of unincorporated areas, contributing to the large population increase over the past two decades. This, coupled with rapid urban development and a higher than average birthrate means that Rosslyn has the highest percent population growth per year of any city in [[Cartadania]]. Though it is primarily in [[Santa Rosa County, Verona|Santa Rosa County]], for which it serves as the county seat, the eastern portion of the city extends into the extreme southern panhandle of [[Sierra County, Verona|Sierra County]].

Rosslyn is located at the southern point of the [[Palm Coast metropolitan area]], named for the abundance of Palm trees along Verona's northeastern coastlines. It is one of 112 cities across seven counties that constitute the Palm Coast metro area.

While Rosslyn is serviced by the [[Palm Coast Metropolitan Transit Authority]], it only receives this service through buses and commuter rail. The city, in 2030, began construction of the Tide Light Rail as a solution to repeatedly being excluded from the [[Palm Coast Light Rail]]'s planned service area. The agency's reason for the exclusion was cited as being too costly, thus the City of Rosslyn allocated $366 million for the construction and integration of its own light rail service and an additional $80 million each year for maintenance and other costs. Despite being a standalone service, the RTLR and PCLR utilize the same ticketing setup and their metro cards are interoperable, thus it is easier for those residents to connect between the two systems seamlessly. The RTLR's Green line has an exchange station near the [[Andina County, Verona|Andina]]-[[Santa Rosa County, Verona|Santa Rosa]]-[[Sierra County, Verona|Sierra]] tri-point, where RTLR riders can switch to the PCLR's Green line and connect to the other major cities of the Palm Coast area.  

Verona State Highway 95 Allure Parkway Toll Lanes

Rosslyn is covered by an extensive network of bus lines that bring all of its citizens within reach of the rest of the metro area. With the automobile being the primary means of transportation for the majority of residents, Rosslyn is also served by a large network of freeways and highways. Crossed by IH-60 and IH-75 and various state highways, there are many routes for residents to utilize. The Santa Rosa County Tollway passes just north of the city limits and offers a direct connection to downtown Sierra. All of city's other highways and freeways that are controlled access have separated High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes that offer express routes and higher speeds than their untolled counterparts. As is custom in the Palm Coast area, all express lanes are HOV 3+ on the left and general toll on the right, with general tolls being higher than HOV 3+.
