Build a train station by the stadiums now where you already have a train line going through. And also make some paths going along the hill behind the stadiums. Connecting up the stadium district the the hilly expensive district. Make it in to a park or something would be a great place for walking you dog, whilst looking over the downtown... :)
Hi Wheaty!! I’ve started watching your videos since the start of the year, I found you on TikTok and have been obsessed since!! Keep up the amazing content, loving everything you’re doing 💕
I love the stadium area! The bar next to the stadium is so classic 😂 Please don't forget to add some room for a river/seaside aquarium! Most major coastal cities have them and it would draw in the tourist for sure!🐠🐟🐡
Hi ... glad to have you back this week ... 43:21 Tram and metro lines seem to be very close parallels, just two blocks apart. If you move the tram one block towards the river and the metro one block away from it they won't steal passengers from each other. The metro won't have the sharp curve of 6:01 anymore. A one-way alley would be transformed into a tram-only road. 41:21 With a tram-only bridge over the highway, the line would continue via Smithson St and the highway-parallel section of Vermont St; the metro station would be moved onto the other side of Brook St for better transfers - both would benefit from adding pedestrian bridges to the actual stadiums. From Vermont St you'd have tram-only tracks right into the intersection of Young Boulevard and Layton Richardson, which would be widened to four lanes with separate tram tracks in the middle until you are past the 29:34 parking lots. From there you can continue to Underhill. 22:43 Here you are truly struggling with the selection of road assets because you are restricted to only choose roads with tram tracks. As these roads can be really busy on game days, I'd really keep the trams out of this part of the stadium district - the Underhill expansion offers passengers everyday ... 45:22 You do not seem to use the spur line ... what about an East-West tram connecting to the tram an metro instead? With a tram-only it could bridge over the railtracks, curve around and run towards the campus railway station parallel to the rail line (1-2 road east of the tracks) having 3 further intersections with tram lines. I would not use trams as a local service for a rail line - but this one does not connect to Central Station, so it won't steal passengers. 45:20 Not a fan of this express line. It avoids an important stop like Central Station which is far away from the Stadium tram line. CS can be avoided by transit lines - but I only suggest that if a variety of transfer options come with it and if you have a better and more direct route that avoids using busy tracks / pieces of road ...
Nice job with the remix of the Underhill District. Your road layout seems fine for downtown and stadiums, but that metro setup is just cringe. metro stations to be about 1 mile apart, with sweeping curves not bunched up stations and sharp angles lines. metro station in stadium district needs to be otherside of main road over by parking lots. Tram line is ok, but i would have a tram only connection way between stadiums and Underhill, get rid of the turnaround. Need a train station in front of stadiums on rail line. I would put a park at where those big roads meet in downtown down by the quay and call it Butts park!
Butts Park 😂 what’s sad is I just noticed the butt but it’s been there for ages lol. In Philly we have 3 stations for the subway less than 2 blocks from each other Arch, City Hall and Walnut. Since it’s the densest part of the city and has the highest foot traffic, that’s what I anticipate for the downtown section. Outside of this area, the metro stops will be must more spread out. Good call on the stop by the stadium parking lots!
Idk how to find it on the steam work shop but there are really cool like tram stops that 2dollartwenty used on his Australian season. And they just make the tram lines more realistic. I think the Australian assets. Love the vid
Glad to see you back Wheaty!! A TON of content in today’s video, so naturally I’ve got a lot of comments/suggestions. Take them as you will - I always trust your judgement. DOWNTOWN -Love the little “alley road” under the highway connecting Downtown & the Stadium Area -The angle of the front facing tram road (near the butt) is a little odd. Perhaps you can make the tapered transition blocks (next to what you already have built) angle a little sharper. And then keep the angle of your front road from the Water Treatment Plant and carry that through till the two run into each other -I hate to say it but I think I’m in favor of smoothing out the butt. Maybe getting rid of the curve on the lower quay wall. Interested to see what you develop here, hopefully it’s public or tourist space! -Building a tunnel on the top corner of Downtown (near CS and the highway) to connect it to Anchor Narrows METRO -Can you make the metro leaving the bottom of CS go underground a block sooner? -Changing the name for the “WCU Stadium Line” to “Bronco Express” and make it yellow to match the team MISC -One of the 2x2 parking spaces (along the river and closest to Underhill) is oriented differently
Wheatyyyy heyyy! Happy 4th of Julyyy! So glad to see you again. The stadiums look amazing, and the pool building looked cool too lol. Love the tram situation and the Hills areas too. You could definitely add a train stop near the stadiums, even though it might be mirroring the metro. It'll definitely bring in people from the eastern side of the map. And also, see if you can add in a fancy bridge for the downtown highway instead of the vanilla one. It would be even better if it were a road cum rail bridge. Hell, you could even integrate the metro into the bridge. And a walking path between Underhill and the stadiums would be fab. And lastly, you should make the butt shaped landscape into a park. Probably even name it Assterix or Buttaside Park, or something butt related lol
ALRIGHT, your AMAZING work! I was writing comments for fun this time. @13:38 LOVE the park area, NICE (say it like NOI'CE) @16:24, left side exit, instead of dumbbell curve? Maybe both directions of the freeway move to have left exits with a split left/right decision-point curve? @38:16 SAVE THAT BUILDING FOR DURANGO! @48:22 Ooh, I made the comments here before finishing video. Looks interesting.
The police station being smaller than the fire dept makes me laugh cause historically cops and fire fighters don't get along 😂 I can just imagine they have like, competing bbqs on their days off lol
Reduce the number of intersections from the avenue in front of the commercial buildings, so you can only enter the alleyways behind the commercial buildings through right turns in order to help traffic flow.
6:00 to 6:37 you have the metro subways turning sharp corners and very tight curves, that will cause the trains to slow down precipitously or even get stuck. You need to address this! Also you --have-- *had* two branches coming off a metro main line which --may-- *might have* --cause-- *caused* future problems. *For the future:* four track subways are available in the MOM mod. Alternatively you --can-- *could* force transfers from the main line to the cross lines by using cross junction stations that are available in the MOM mod and in the Sunset Harbor DLC.
Ok so I have such issues with terrain I can never get things flat and it annoys me to no end haha - I wonder how you’d fix up my city I built - I wish there was a way to share it
The Sunway lines even though they are not visible just make me cringe I think it would be worth the time to try and make them flow a little but better I juts don't like how sharp they are

Great thinking!
The metro lines have very sharp curves and the way they fall into the ground, makes them look like rollercoasters
For the stadiums I think it would be good to make elevated walkways and not allow pedestrian crossing to help with traffic flow

I just checked and we don’t unlock the aquarium until 5000 students are in elementary schools 😭

really great job!!! I just laid out my downtown area in my last video. I am excited to fill it in! So this was a nice pre build video to watch!
Ohhhh - going to watch right now!

Huge fan of the organized notes. Thanks David, as always!
I think you might want some hotels near the stadiums. Also, maybe a fancy boardwalk walkway of some sort down the hill from the hill district?
Wheatyyyy heyyy! Happy 4th of Julyyy! So glad to see you again. The stadiums look amazing, and the pool building looked cool too lol. Love the tram situation and the Hills areas too.

Fix the butt! And have that downtown layout follow those quays better. The stadiums look great tho👌 Keep it up!

I’m loving this real time response Zach 🤣
@@WheatyWaffle Just fun, creative topics. "This is what I saw. I like it, but [consider this]?" I wish I had City Skylines honestly.
So glad ur back missed u last week wheaty
Thanks Cameron! Glad to be back - been way too busy lately
The police station being smaller than the fire dept makes me laugh cause historically cops and fire fighters don't get along 😂 I can just imagine they have like, competing bbqs on their days off lol

I hear you loud and clear - definitely smoothing out the metro line. Cracking up at the past tense edits to your comment 😂
@@WheatyWaffle 👍 Cracking up indeed. 😁 Glad to be of help.
You should get multi-story parking lot. The small ones don't fit that nice
What mod gives you the ability to know how many units your road is?
Also which mod gives gou the 1u roads?
Yasss road!!!!
Ok so I have such issues with terrain I can never get things flat and it annoys me to no end haha - I wonder how you’d fix up my city I built - I wish there was a way to share it
Trial and error, repeat. And a lot of “I give up with this. We’ll come back.”
@@WheatyWaffle yeah definitely lots of trial and error lol
The Sunway lines even though they are not visible just make me cringe I think it would be worth the time to try and make them flow a little but better I juts don't like how sharp they are
You mean the curves aren’t smooth enough or the whole layout is garbage?
@@WheatyWaffle kinda both I just feel it needs a rework
Another Great Video.
Thanks Andrew!
Do you use steam
Maybe change the tram turnaround to tram only tracks
Great idea! Someone else recommended sending it up the hill into under hill via a tram only road too
When is the next video? :(
First
Well done!
