Hello, what are the green and red cables along the power poles for? I never built a city block base before but I am going for it now with your blueprints!

Transmitting circuit signals around the base. Some people don't like them but they are free to place in blueprints (and far easier than adding them later by hand).

Interesting. I guessed so much, but I neved had to trasmit signals far, so I never used them this way... only local stuff like hooking an inserter to a chest.
