So planting trees helps with air pollution and germs aswell?

The garbage collection is working out fine so far, though admittedly none of the city's that are Using it are over 10k population yet. The biggest city I have in the region is 40k at petrol ridge which is an electronic city and is what I use to gift money about. So at cinder I have 16 garbage trucks lol. The annoying thing is though you often see all 16 of them driving around cinder in a big line but since I'm never really on that city I can live with it. I only built it up enough so all the utilities had workers. I tried the tourist city at soirée and it sucked so I bulldozed the whole lot. It's going to be kinda circular like that guys above and I had an idea of putting police fire and ambulance stations quite far away on the outskirts of the map and connecting them to the city with long low dense roads. In theory this should allow them to skip the traffic on the main avenues and just use their own 'service roads' which will be connected at strategic points of the city's streets for access. With the roads being so long I'm hoping sims won't use them because the main avenues would provide a shorter route to where ever they want to go. Not sure how it would work though yet, il probably mess it up somehow, I'm so bad at pre planning haha.

I'm on the same region, I'm playing grand haven as a high/med wealth residential city, the next one along will be similar but concentrated around education and the next one down I'm going to do tourist city. Because I'm doing 3 high/medium wealth city's I'm building up cinder as a utility's city to avoid pollution in the other 3. I have at the moment 2 sewage plants, 2 power plants etc etc and a crap load of garbage trucks. I just sell power, water, treatment and volunteer vehicles to the other 3 city's. works quite well.

I'd have thought being able to plop a theme park would have been a good addition, specially for a tourism city. Has there been any talk or rumours of a theme park DLC?
