Park And Riding Our Way To IMPROVED TRAFFIC FLOW! | Ep. 29 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Traffic flow is further improved with the opening of Stephen's offline park and ride center coinciding with an extended tram line. At Onyx's insistence, Stephen also replaces the second bridge to Nazca Heights with a tunnel, which turns out to be even more janky. With industrial demand now surging due to the sudden infusion of unskilled workers last episode, we build a second "temporary" industrial district deep into the county desert near the site of a potential future town.

Urban Planner Causes A SUPERNOVA In Our City! | Ep. 28 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Onyx builds an ill-advised road (both in theory and in practice), which causes an explosive supernova to occur near the university. Stephen unveils a new stacked interchange based on the infamous "Stack" interchange in Phoenix, Arizona. Industrial businesses continue to shutter due to a lack of sufficient labour force for operation. A "crappy neighbourhood" is hastily built in order to serve as a new housing district for the "uneducated" workers. Video: https://youtu.be/DGVCbGNBaWk
