Your downtown is amazing!! However I do think that the highways could be even more improved by sinking some of them (omnibus tutorials added below), or even more tunnels combined with the sunken highways... This would hide the highways some, plus free up some more free space when you make tunnels. If implemented it would only be icing on an allready delicious cake Totorual for onramps for sunken highways: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=146&threadid=83514&enterthread=y One more tutorial on sunken highways: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=146&threadid=78080&enterthread=y and one on tunneling highways: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=146&threadid=77435&enterthread=y) Hope some of this stuff was usefull

And if you have towers in your suburbs, these towers might remove some of the demand for towers in the downtown. So try to delete the towers where you don't want them, and only have high density zones where you want them to be.

Try to get the different city tiles to blend as much as possible, to create a region view that looks as uniform as possible without the boundary lines showing.

I too have to say that the bridge is absolutely stunning, and im looking forward to using it! Excellent job!!! simply amazing

Just an idea of how to get vertical walls on your highways downtown: If you build a sunken highway with slopes on the sides, and then zone on the slopes, wont the buildings that pop up be leveled with the ground above the highway, with retaining walls facing the highway? It just seems to me that it would be a good way to get your downtown to look like this: http://www.phillyroads.com/roads/vine/img7.gif (edit: the link is taken from the above post, so no credit to me for finding it) Ofcourse this will only work at places where you have buildings next to the highway, and create an akward transition in places where you decide not to place buildings next to the highway... i havent tried this out yet, so im not 100% sure that it will work... EDIT: so i made a little test, and it seems to work: http://img131.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sunken16kw.jpg http://img224.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sunken27mi.jpg It seems that different wealth buildings have different retaining walls, which dont look very nice next to each other... so if anyone have any retainingwall mods... Also i cant get my overpasses to be very nice... does anybody have any solutions to that?
