I think it is time to move your water waste pipes again since you now have direct access to the ocean flow for starters and clean up that cul-de-sac waterway!

[@mattdeady6448]

I didn't watch the whole thing so maybe you mentioned it, but I'm really surprised you haven't addressed the fact you created a giant high-density culdesac off a 2 lane local road.

I can imagine a day where the "Bob Ross" of city skylines over here hits a million subs! I've been watching for a while now and I can't get enough. His explanation of real world planning and insight are incredibly useful when building your own city. Thanks so much for the time and effort that's goes into these videos, it doesn't go unnoticed!

I’m only at 21:00, but at this moment the bike path along the cliff appears to be the most dangerous place in the city - a fence to keep the bikers from falling to their death would greatly improve it!

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Will get that fixed in a future video! I completely agree!

[@Veloletum]

Came to the comments to say the same :'D

[@pratikkhachane1129]

please don't recommend him this, i haven't seen him improving the traffic he should make interchanges rather then making roads big making road size big isn't a solution to deal with traffic.

[@jayderson]

Prisons require clear lines so that you can see an approach or an escape for some distance. Trees would be cut down for up to the effective fire range of the rifle utilized. Something close to 500 yards depending on the rifle platform, and the skill level. An unscalable wall would be used if the distances couldn't be utilized. This is why prisons are not built within city limits anymore. They are often built on the outside of the city limits and can be seen for miles. Also jails are for sentences for 1 year or less, prisons are for sentences of more than 365 days.

[@liesdamnlies3372]

_hem_ In certain countries anyway.

[@jayderson]

@@liesdamnlies3372 well yes, of course in certain countries.

[@Worldbuilder]

The old (and now turned into a museum) prison in Horsens, Denmark is a wonderful example. Built about in the middle of the 19th century, it was built on a hill. You can still clearly see it when you approach the town from the north or west; to the east and south the town’s encroached on it. But it still has a substantial amount of land, and it’s frequently used for large-scale events.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

You know, that makes a ton of sense! I should get those trees cut down...

[@jayderson]

@@CityPlannerPlays the design of the prison in the game is a within city limits type prison. High limestone walls are very crica early 1900 prison ie the bloodiest prison west of the Mississippi. Missouri state penitentiary. At least in Kansas county jails are required to be located within the city limits of the county seat.

[@jasonvanjoff6758]

As a person who worked in a prison for 15 years, I have to say (for realism) there would be absolutely no foliage around the prison when that prison is in an industrial area. The sight lines are broken and obstructed by soooo many places for people to hide (people attempting to throw contraband over the fence; people attempting to breach the fences while prisoners are out during yard exercise). Trees (very few) would be permitted at the front of the building for the general public but nothing behind or around the sides. Also, too close to a highway (fast get away for escapees).

[@anddrewb1367]

This series has been so invaluable. I started playing Cities again after having not played it since launch, and got all the DLCs and it was so overwhelming. Being introduced to the DLCs in this way, showing how you implement and upgrade old parts of the city as you use new features and grow in population is exceptionally helpful. Cheers!

Where the highway met that four lane road, you could try converting the highway segments to asymetric roads so there's a dedicated lane for turning and one for straight. Also, the big problem with the traffic is that the segments by the fountain/future casino are too short so only a few cars get to go when the light is green.

[@paradoxproductions]

I feel like a blimp stop and bus terminal in the new tourism/leisure district would serve extremely well. You might want to add a police, fire, and hospital Also pad the bottom by the wind mills with office space, or upgrade to solar. I like the piers, but thought they would be better on the opposite side of the beach by the hotels. Wish they had a beach park in the park life dlc, would be nice to see sun bathers, tiki bars, boardwalks etc. I totally summer in Mill Side hills, tourism district should be Millside Crest

[@trooper225]

I absolutely love the tourism in cities skylines but I wish if they had a larger variety of different building and had the 6 stories or so

This. Could be a good opportunity to make another connection to the downtown train hub.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Not a bad idea! Will look into that in a future episode!

[@robojimtv]

It's also a good blimp spot

[@starwave8228]

Important Tip mainly for vanilla players. The Tourism has more buildings than what was shown here. You have.. 4 more Hotels with one being a variant colour (blue/white). Irish Pub , Swiming Pool , Outdoor Gym, Sun Lounger Area, Hippy Cafe made out of shipping crates, beach cafe, cafe tables, Grill cafe and a few more i think. To get these to spawn they must be near water, if your Tourism isn't close enough to the water then you can cheese it by terraforming to run some water to where your tourism is located and then save the buildings that spawn as 'historic' and then undo what you terraformed and you will have the other (imo nicer) Tourism buildings. You can 'kind of' make your own custom hotel complexes by mixing them up and detailing around them. Merry Christmas City Builders :)

[@repliedfob4165]

While I love that you build with realism and stick to real life codes and ordinances, I would love to see a build or an episode where you build according to the codes and ordinances you believe make better communites. What would communites look like if you didn't have to deal with all the beaurocratic limitations? Like at 48:20 you said mixed use zoning isn't a very realistic but you do include it in some communites. I would like to see a whole build where you bend the rules to your heart's content. It would be amazing to see a build that disregards the policies you think really hinders communities. Also, I think it would be really interesting if you explained why doing things the way we do doesn't make sense.

[@doobiousd5020]

35+ years as a pedestrian and I've never heard the word Push-Button Actuator. That little nugget alone makes this series worthwhile!!

I took a walk today and saw the exact foliage you used to cover up terrain next to stairs that went up a hill. Only right next to the stairs, so obviously planted, insane!

[@thesteelrodent1796]

FWIW: In most of Europe it's illegal to ride a bike on the sidewalk, unless you're on a kiddie bike (so basically only small kids may use the sidewalk for biking) and if there is a bike path you HAVE to use it and in some cases can be fined if you ride anywhere else. That said, every country has its own regulation, like how and whether you're allowed to ride on paths shared with pedestrians differ between countries, but in general pedestrians have the right of way. Also be aware that this game is made in Finland and most of its systems are a mix between European and American principles

It's really nice seeing all the bikelanes in the city! Also, in the Netherlands we have quite a lot of biketunnels crossing underneath roads, usually with bigger roads. So that might be a solution in some places. Within the cities we don't really prioritize cars at all, cyclists and pedestrians are considered equal, or even more important than them. And roundabouts. Lots of roundabouts lol. It's fun to see the difference

[@CarlosAlberto-fz3oj]

Honestly, watching this series has been so fascinating that I bought Skylines and now I'm gonna save to start getting the dlcs

[@renoramadhanalmaghribi]

Rather than closing that through road in front of the planned casino. I hope you just connect it back and make 2 new bus loop (1 from downtown transit center to casino, circle park, and ferry; another one is one loop for both the suburbs sprawl to connect to the other bus loop and some commercial in the area). Another thing is change the sub connection to the casino to include stop on forest park and another one between the ferry and circle park.

[@nathanmock1824]

38:10 I think something that is often (but not always!) overlooked is the spacing of the junctions. You can see the vans stopping once the short segment fills up, even though the light is still green. Maybe a one way couplet would work better around the monument?

Great video! Personal Recommendation: Changing “Monument Park” to “Monument Circle” would match the park the park more as it is a circle and in real life I’ve personally seen some parks named “… Circle” if it’s in the shape of a circle.

[@stevespencer4563]

This might sound odd, but one of my favorite things that you do in your builds is the city tour... Would you be willing to consider creating a standalone episode of any of your properties that would just be a long, meandering city tour? Would anyone else be interested in this? Just a thought. Thank you so much for your content. 🙂

[@harambae7014]

He did something similar back in Bluffside Crossing, where one episode was just a first-person POV bus ride across the entire city. It was fascinating to see everything at human scale for a change.

[@toribiogubert7729]

@@harambae7014 yeah that one was cool. I thought he would make more standalone like that one, it was really cool to recognize some places from the bus POV.

[@SoofiGaming]

@25:00 So wiseass comment here but bike infrastructure contributes to your city's/country's economy though in a great way so I find it somewhat reasonable that there's no extra cost associated with that (I mean that you can't look at the cost of the road in isolation). But it would be really nice to have a mechanic in the game that sort of calculates the road construction/maintenance cost to be higher but then benefits your commercial that is adjacent to it by a multiplier - I don't believe there is such a connection in the game now, I'd be amazed if there is? IRL walkability and bike use does result in higher commercial use much more than cars, at least that's what research tends to show. Not to talk about reduced cost in healthcare etc...

[@andrewpennington6497]

Another great video! You should put in a ferry stop near the tourism district where you cut that road off, or on the beach side, maybe that will help with traffic going through the neighborhood.

[@shanehiggins4983]

I think a one way collector coming into and going around the fountain in your tourism district would have been a cool idea to disperse some traffic. In that case I would have made a one way coupling instead of the 4 lane road you had T'ing into the fountain (you could have added bike infrastructure in the median) with a one way loop into the district and around the fountain, hope this makes sense. Also I think expanding the grid in that area and more local connection to outside the community, plus getting rid of that toll booth (you might do that, the video isnt over lol) would really help disperse trips onto other roads. Awesome video/series! Thank you for the awesome content you provide, it is really appreciated. I always feel like I learn something watching your videos, and it makes the experience so awesome. I just got a PC and downloaded my hometown city map (Halifax NS) and I was wondering if you could do a tutorial/more videos like the one you did on Venice, Florida. I thought that video was crazy informative and interesting as a history and a city guy. Happy Holiday's to you and your family CPP!

I live in Wisconsin too in the Fox Cities. There are a couple of prisons here you can see close to the highway as well. One near I-41 which is Oshkosh Correctional Institution, I think it's Wisconsin's largest prison. And in Green Bay, they have the Green Bay Correctional Institution off of hwy 172. I guess people in Wisconsin like to see theirs. 😆😆😆

[@shinian6523]

Hey, no idea whether you'll see this on an old video. I just got to the part of you creating a metro connection from the new tourism district. A couple of options, I thought you'd be able to go under the water by stepping down twice, then coming back up. Maybe you tried that. Another option is an above ground bridge, but maybe you haven't unlocked that option yet (I think it's a later DLC). A third option would be a commuter train going around the bay.

Man, my commute to college became so much better when they added a bike lane on the collector I had to travel on. I had to choose between riding a collector where people typically went 45-ish mph and we're often hostile vs the sidewalk of said collector, which isn't exactly safe and significantly slowed me down at every driveway. They also banned bikes on sidewalks around downtown. It makes sense given how busy the sidewalks were. It was a pretty small portion of the town, but it totally made sense and at least they had the decency to add bike lanes through there.

[@1h8s]

[@LetustheDragon]

if it were up to me with going around the bay, I would've used a monorail. Even though you get a lovely view of the sewage facilities, I feel like it'd be more touristy, and being along the road can be useful for any future stops/connections.

[@jacobkorducki6940]

[@willianvia1]

Great video !! Love to watch your Cities: Skylines videos.

[@auellaitaela8035]

I know this is old now but I'm kinda predicting what should be done as I'm learning this. A good half or more of all that traffic out to the leisure/tourist districts are trucks with goods. A train from the industrial districts alone might ease up a massive chunk of that traffic. Also them blimps might be a solid way of getting tourists from the freeway on the other end of the city down there and would be very touristy in theme. Those two things alone might cut traffic by a good 60% or more. Maybe another ferry route, or multiple ferrys from the highway all the way down, and then some cable cars directly from the ferry to the district. It's almost like there's two games here. One is building the city, and the other half (or more) is traffic optimization. And hopefully the sewage waste filtration gets moved soon now that all the beach tourist centers are there. That's gotta be a smelly place to jet ski and play volleyball.

[@Craftycatz1289]

when you get casinos, you should make a casino strip or an adult area (like a red zone)

There's a prison off of US Route 34/67 (also known as the Chicago-Kansas City Expressway... Which is Route 110? Been a few years since I lived in that neck of the woods....) when you come up from Monmoth, IL the west to Galesburg, IL quite visible from the highway. The highway really butts up against the facility so there isn't a lot of hiding it. I also enjoyed the signs saying... "Don't pick up hitch Hikers" along that stretch.

Add more trees and garden parks for every few houses in between , and with walkway then it will reduce less noisy and healthy environment for residents. one more thing, you can put 2 blocks away with the road and building, for future expanding wider road,trees or walkway in front of the building and houses.

[@MGM778]

im completely clueless of what to do with leisure specialization, so i just build a couple of roads, add a few parks depending on how large it is, then zone. so i hope this can help me get better.

[@NeedlessPedantics]

Seems to me there would be fewer people driving into the new neighbourhood if there were better bus and ferry connections. As it stands in order to take a ferry you have to get to the Zoo first. Overall it seems like the road connection was appropriate, but it was over used because it was essentially the best way to get there, because the transit connections are too limited.

[@Aby7799]

After Overcharged eggs'perience, you shud rename the monument park to Stone Hens park

[@emmata98]

52:46 Also this is a limit of the game. Esp for the 4 lane road with bike lanes you could habe easily trees in the middle

[@MordechaiKarp]

A better option to help the power jump to the prison may have been a road maintenance facility. Not sure which which dlc that is included in, but road crews in the US are often staffed by inmates and it would make sense to have it next to the highway as well.

[@liesdamnlies3372]

They’re in Snowfall.

[@rbraibish]

The prisons that I am familiar with in my area are out in the open, far away from any forested areas, (I live in the PNW) I always thought this was for security - easier to see an escapee if they have a wide field to cross before they get to cover. Maybe I am wrong, but tucking a prison in a well "concealed" space seems like a bad idea at least in real life.

[@GoyoPollo1]

Was there a reason no public transportation was added between the ferries and cable cars to the tourism and leisure area? Like a bus or something? I feel like that may have encouraged more use of the ferries there instead of the road. Or do the ferries take cars too?

[@jackiepaper1817]

Kingston, Ontario, has 7 "Correctional Facilities", two federal correctional service buildings, one provincial (a.k.a. state) correctional service building, and three museums (one of which was a Maximum Security Penitentiary that closed only 5 years ago and 'might' reopen again after they finish upgrading it). Two of the Pens are located on major roads (Arterials?) and look like Castles. Where I come from, People do get warm and fuzzy about prisons. 🙃

[@dannyfriedman3302]

Not sure if these comments are read anymore but I'm going through the tutorial stage by stage. On the issue of traffic congestion to the leisure / tourist area, instead of a metro (which I always struggle with) I put in a monorail, and my congestion dropped down (or up) from 79 to 94!. But I'm getting a lot of abandonment and 'not enough goods / workers' notifications ion the leisure / tourism site. Ideas? And I've never got the cool tall tower blocks in the area in spite of allowing highrises. But enjoying .. !

[@d1p]

Dense vegetation around a prison doesn't keep the prisoners in. It makes it easier for them to hide from security sweeps and escape. Prisons usually opt for much longer sight lines so less guards are needed to survey the surrounding landscape. Granted, this is why prisons are more likely in rural areas.

[@marquisegetward]

Great Episode as Always 🤗💚

[@justinsinke2088]

I've been considering getting the game next time I see it on sale, and I am quite enjoying your walkthrough overview of the game and its DLCs. Watching this episode I feel compelled to inquire; given that a tourism/leisure district is a pretty solid visitation hub, might having a train/metro hub be a solid mass transit connector for such an area? You have the ferries, true, but they're sot of a roundabout way of getting there, especially since the ferries seem to be pedestrian only, so that's a fairly long walk to the leisure district that way. You have a single metro stop here if memory serves, but that's a pretty long round trip depending on how many passenger trains you currently have active. Given the large apparent visitation drive of the districts, more dedicated mass transit options feels like a good idea since the tolls are, as you pointed out, not discouraging anyone from going by car. (Yes, I'm aware this series is likely finished as I type this, but I wanted to give my thoughts with the current build in progress given the methods you had tried using in this video.)

[@edwardmiessner6502]

You might want to rethink all those trees around that prison. There's a county jail in the median of I-95/Route 128 Southwest of Boston and there are no forests to block the view and there's a loop road high security fences around the jail keeping the inmates in. But there is a line of trees next to the fence.

[@beefcakees]

i love how caring you are about your prisoners lol

[@jwbogacki]

It's kind of funny that the ferries, when they turn inward, it's like it's going to crash into the piers. They could've made them back up then make their turn and on their way.

A bridge, yeah, but I use MoveIt! afterwards to drop each node back to the surface, so it just looks like a fenced path. I just don't like the idea of my Cims plunging to their deaths. :lol:

@@beajoh that's such a sick tip, I was thinking heavily lately about how to create a boardwalk kinda deal for my waterfront, and this didn't even occur to me. Ty again!

There's some nice walkable quays on the Workshop, Shane. I use one called something like Cement walkable Quay. It has a built in fence, too, but only on the outside. Works nice for boardwalks. The raised paths put fences on both sides.

It’s so funny how CPP just has to add landscaping to make a PRISON look nice. No judgment he pulled it off

Since I'm from Europe, the way you talk about biking feels so weird. Because in europe you can bike pretty much everywhere and until like when WW2 happened, everything was also build quite around the bike, afterwards since it had to be built up quick again cause of the destruction, bike-lanes were less of a priority, but in the majority of smaller towns dedicated and separate (more importantly) bike and pedestrian lanes Curbwalks, are the more common site, than painted on bikeways on streets.
