I have always had an idea similar to Gidget's- that FH should have a bridge connecting it to to one of the western beaches.
Being able to exit (and likely enter?) the city from any dock would present huge security problems in an already poorly defended city...
But even a combination of the two, sort of like a boat ramp, only at one or two locations could improve travel times and access to and from the city.
That's partly why I suggested Hartley Point. Being directly opposite the stables makes it a great spot if you want only one added entry/egress point to the city. A ramp into the water from Windy Head might be better for those who are going to/through Greenvale or Resting Water, but water carriers and those seeking to train South of FH would be better served by doing it at Loria's Rise. Hartley Point is a good compromise as it's right between those two. If they decide to do a bridge instead, Hartley Point is closest to land so the bridge will be cheaper and quicker to build too.
@Arfur - I think that the 2.5D engine and how it handles sudden elevation changes restricts us to ramps, bridges, and teleporters. If we added half a dimension to be fully 3D then I would agree, but as it stands your concerns are a moot point due to technical limitations.
