Name suggestion for the Junction/Interchange: Spaghetti Junction - Back story; this is a crazy junction set in the city of Birmingham UK, It became famous for its unique, pasta-like appearance.

[@hardhatlunchpal]

That crazy round about on/off ramp thing reminded me of an octopus or a Kraken. Also you definitely need to add some high schools for both sides of the river.

Squid interchange

[@sbgmorchel47]

i had exactly the same thought, it looks like a kraken

[@miqueldiaz3042]

I thought I was just hungry, but I saw an octopus 😂 the Kraken sounds more exaggerated, so it fits better the American theme

I love this city set up. It reminds me a lot of the city im from Peoria, IL and East Peoria across the river. Theres even a man made island right next to a bridge but it sadly does not have a ferris wheel.

Not gonna lie, but you should like to add a pit stop or gas station on the new highway... 'cause of people goin' in or out of the City of Riverview. For example, getting snacks or food on the road, going to the toilet and finally getting gas (GAS!!!) Thank U.

[@harrisonsaunders1198]

so glad i got to catch this video when it came out, the roundabout interchange at 16:46 is one connection away from being something you could call an octopus interchange, but septapus interchange would more accurately describe it in its current state

[@wambman]

More like a Medusa interchange. If I saw that interchange IRL I would turn to asphalt

[@G0rdonFr33man]

One of the lanes is a double lane, so it is definitely a some kind of octopus...

[@awap_8259]

It's look like 3D view of Google maps, that was incredible, i love your city

[@CapnCword]

I would love to see some more actual bridges. There’s a lot of instances where roads or highways cross the river, but they’re all just plain roads. It would be cool to see them built up and fortified a little bit more, just to fit aesthetics.

[@joew974]

A lot of water crossings in north America are just causeways like he built, unless it's going over a major water source like the Ohio, Mississippi, the Hudson, etc. It's just cheaper.

I've seen many cs youtubers, but you sir, have the nicest road layouting skills so far. No other cs2 city is that beautiful in the manner of style. You should do a master class with teaching all the city planning principles.

The trees you planted at the start of the map was a great idea, it makes the whole map look really full and busy even in empty areas.

[@edoardom3677]

Loving the expansion to chestnut and that you kept the woods 🤩 Can't wait to see what you're gonna do with the third highway. Looks like a nice stop for a small touristic village between the mountains and a gas station for a quick pitstop.

[@ahmedghoraba2153]

You need to add the bigger services buildings like hospital and police headquarters as it seems there is quality metric not just coverage

[@NWbeats]

I love how CS2 enables you to grow cities in a more organic way over time... if everything works right. This city is a perfect example of that.

[@Saku-ws8sv]

It would be cool to see some data from the different map modes this game has just to see how your city is doing. Especially tourism would be fun to look at since Love Island probably attracts a ton of them. Oh yes also, did you ever actually make a train connection in and out of the city? I remember you not doing it when the train station got built and I was thinking wheter the tourists are actually coming by train

[@RandyCrowder-k4f]

You should add a Metro system with how big the city is getting

The squidersection is magnificent, and you should be proud! Also, I love the idea that a major developer came into the area and wanted to make a mark, so worked with the city administration and the DOT to include paving the new waterfront highway in exchange for significant tax breaks and possibly even federal grants. Poor little sleepy Autumn Mills never saw it coming. It is especially perfect as one of the new sections of the highway is called Spring Highway!

[@CaptainGarisen-bl3vp]

What I love about CS2 is the graphic level. Sometimes I feel like Im watching some Google Maps footage with 3D assets. Especially the downtown.

[@evangyfto7042]

I very much like your way of developing/extending/densifying the city and surrounding towns! I think you should consinder extending the tramway line of East Riverview at least to Sterling (and maybe to Barlow Ridge) as to provide public transport to people working there (Stadtbahn/light rail maybe). Keep up the good work and looking forward to watching the next episode!

[@lancani7756]

A lot of people have been comparing your custom interchange to an octopus, but i actually thing is most resembles a plasma ball (You know those electric balls that would follow your fingers with bolts of electricity). So I think you should call it "Plasma Junction" or something like that.

[@-gordozian-2611]

[@keanusolan2844]

A beautiful build, Mr. Mayor. One thing that seems to be missing from your suburbs or satellite settlements is proper public transportation links. Given the size of Chestnut and East Riverview, both towns should be connected to Downtown Riverview/Civic Center by suburban rail (as a stop connecting to the outskirts of the map as well). Please consider doing so.

[@chammp777]

I really love your videos. You are now my favourite CS2 KZbinr and I’ve learned SO much! I am completely new to the Cities franchise and your videos helped me learn to create big beautiful cities! It’s been so much fun! Keep up the awesome work. I’m loving Riverview!

Hey there! Absolutely loving the series so far, but wanted to mention that the new highway seems to be a little too steep near the outside connection. In the US, the maximum allowed grade is usually 6%, and even then, it takes commercial trucks quite a while to make their way down.

Hi, would love see some oil industry in Riverview, maybe some urban drilling like in LA, also can you add a sea connection to give the port of Riverview a functionality, maybe some add some boat access around the Riverview dam, which could be named the 2 Pines Dam. Thanks for the Videos Cheers :)

[@stephens021]

I am almost certain that this map has no sea access.

[@qKuez]

You can add a sea connection, like the highway in the video no matter if the map starts with a sea connection. Tested this is in my own save 👍

I'm new to cs but am 100% confident in saying this guy is my favorite KZbinr for cs. He doesn't mess around with doing stupid crap (you know what i mean) and makes realistic/ functioning cities, love it! keep up the work.

[@elleharl]

Please do some railroad bridges near the downtown/riverfront area where they cross the street. It would look pretty cool (like the Elevated Train) and also help with traffic so it doesn’t come to a complete standstill getting in and out of that area and waiting for the lights to change.

[@NEKORID]

Not elevated but tunneled. Elevated railroads aren't built anymore because of crime rate and loss of land value. I think here we should see what modern cities are doing, which is turning old railways into long parks, specially when they go along rivers.

[@PTB_BE]

CS1: "oh god, I hope I've build this small and efficient enough" CS2: *"B U I L D I T B I G"* Also, i've spot that north of the new highway there is some place on top of the mountain, how about a small sky resort/village there?

[@Bahnfanatiker]

hmm, due to the lightening, I guess, that it is somewhat around noon. So while the map is in the northern hemisphere, the sun is in the south, that means, according to the shadows, that East Riverview is in the south, not in the East ;)

[@pollodiablo8112]

As a Dutch truckdriver myself, my opinon is that those interchanges are tight 😅. Like to see how you make it looks so easy to build. Bet it has some hours behind it. Like someone already suggested, maybe a highway truckstop with gas station. Love your work, keep it up

[@alfredVN]

Its fun watching the percentages slowly shift in the subscriber/viewer stats as you continue your reminder-campaign!

[@dragothica4925]

Saw this video on my KZbin recommendations and couldn't help watching it. I soon had a idea you could work on at the tunnels at 6:40 on the video. You could build some kind of toll checkpoint or shopping stop area next to the tunnel entrances for example to make it look more interesting. It would probably require some terraforming but it would also allow a bit more realistic tunnel entrances (not as stretched out) than what they currently are.

[@Morfefla]

Please make a "walk-through" video where you get attached and drive, through the entire city from the front of a car, bus or train line. It will be very interesting to look at the city from this perspective.

[@rsplines12]

You are channeling your inner Robert Moses! I am rooting for the full modernist/USA dystopian experience.

[@jimdotcom1972]

the new highway is a great addition, the roads are starting to look nice and messy and natural just like a real city would as it had been constantly rebuilt and redesigned over the years, really coming together nicely perhpas you could extend your highway through the city centre and clear away historic neighborhoods, americans love putting highways through their downtowns. so far i think this is the best series going on youtube to showcase the game, i can't really afford the game right now so i'm sticking with you to see all it can do, keep going.

[@BonnieAndHarris]

Honestly this guys videos are so long but somehow I can watch the whole of them because it is too entertaining. Top tier Cities Skylines KZbinr!

[@Webbedtrout]

The massive towers and riverside parkway are classic American infrastructure planning in cities like NYC so it's very fitting for a NA inspired city. The next part would be building new suburban tract housing along the highway just off a highway exit, can't leave that potential capacity to waste.

The unlikely interchanges over the railroad crossing onto the highway could be solved by lowering the track and creating a tunnel for the tracks to sit in. Possibly a reused old canal?

[@AdamZugone]

Ah I've been waiting for you to upload a new episode!! I'm convinced you have the best Cities: Skylines II let's play on youtube right now

[@adamjones1805]

It was great watching you build new motorways. The tools for road building look so much easier in Cities Skylines 2. Might I make a suggestion. In that old housing area close to the city next to the new main highway road, I really think the whole area needs to have higher density residential. An area that close to downtown with houses would just be way too expensive and I would've thought would be medium density residential at a minimum. Or perhaps the first entire mixed use suburb. An entire suburb totally rezoned to the new mixed use zoning would be cool. Also I noticed a railway line crossing over a couple of major streets close to the city. Which now with the current population and growth, I think it's time to put a couple of tunnels under those streets for the railway line.

[@kenichi5388]
