    I have recently downloaded the Network Add-on Mod. It will help in many situations, especially the improved diagonal avenue to orthogonal road intersections! I also like the street bridges, as they will be convenient for short distances. Oh, and the roundabouts are great. However, there are some parts of the NAM that I am not quite as thrilled about:

    1. There are a lot of buttons that this mod places in the menus. Sometimes, they can get in my way, shift older buttons down, and make navigating the menus much more tedious. I have chosen all the correct plugins, but the puzzle pieces and overpasses, in particular, have no plugin, and therefore cannot be deactivated. I don't know much about programming SimCity, but is it possible to add a whole additional menu to hold all of these buttons? Or, if not, I thought that possibly there could be a plugin that places all of the options into one button. The user could then press SHIFT-TAB to scroll through the different options (for example, ped malls, road overpasses, road puzzle pieces, etc), then press TAB to scroll through the different types, as it is now.

    2. I have also noticed a small bug in the program: if you were to zone pedestrian mall tiles over a house, the house would still be there, and could not be removed with the bulldoze tool. Is this normal? If I remember right, this same issue happened with the built-in side highway onramps.

    3. Is it possible to make pedestrian malls accessible from the road? If I were to build a pedestrian mall adjacent to a road, no one would be able to walk off of the road and onto the ped mall.

    Thank you for taking the time for reading my remarks, and are any of the points that I brought up here possible to make for the next version?

    Sincerely, SFFC

    PS: I'm using the mac version.
