Cities Skylines Springfield Update

The following screenshots are of a winter map that I am working on in the Snowfall DLC. There are a number of outstanding maintenance issues that appear in several images (such as water and sewage capacity needing to be increased). The present population is approximately 69,000 (I have previously reached the Metropolis Milestone when I surpassed 55K). In my gameplay experience so far this is about the point that I start experiencing issues with low volume traffic solutions resulting in the necessity to expand capacity.

Cities Skylines Snowfall & After Dark DLC

During the recent Steam Winter Sale I picked up a couple of DLC for Cities Skylines (After Dark and Snowfall). The Snowfall DLC is currently $12.99 regular price on Steam and presently has a review status of mixed, which I happen to disagree with. While there are some things that they could have more fully fleshed out, there are many more features of this expansion that make it worth the regular price. I started one of the three snow maps as a test and ended up spending all my current city building time plowing snow.

Cities Skylines Sub Theory

This evening when expanding my corpse recycler of a city I noticed that my subway line (which I was quite proud of at the time of inception) was as backed up as a toilet in a turnpike restroom. My first inclination was to provide bypasses to each stop when it finally dawned on my noob city planner self that each subway stop stopped at each stop thereafter, making bypasses effectively useless. Cims go to work, play, shop, and then come back home. What they do not do is hop on public transport of any type and go visit another cim (bunch of introverts).

Cities Skylines Megadeth

While my city has been progressing along with some minor death spikes resulting in population loss here and there, I have mostly been able to get through them without too much of an issue. Today I experienced a massive population drop which resulted in corpses piling up, abandoned buildings accumulating all over the map, and the resulting loss in property value and tax revenues that go along with it.
