New mayor has been elected! This one is quite car friendly, and his first action was to widen the main street up to to the rail bend in anticipation of traffic volumes due to a future development in the area. A widening all the way into the city is planned as well.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate looking down the street that divides the Downtown and Harrison George Park districts. Downtown on the left can be seen with medium and high density developments, while Harrison George Park to the right is mostly low density single family housing.

In this show you can really see the division between mid - high density Downtown and low density Harrison George Park created by the agreement to disallow any medium or high density developments in the latter.

The main street has been extended all the way to the perpendicular highway and a new on-/off-ramp has been integrated into the pre-existing highway interchange.

You can also tell that this is where we have new screenshots from after the First Frost update, everything is suddenly more bloomy xD

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing a triangular street loop. Several buses can be seen stuck in traffic.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the redesigned street loop. Bike lanes have been added to several streets and a strategically placed bus-only lane prevents buses from getting stuck in traffic anymore.

This is one of the ends of the second bus line. Buses constantly got stuck in traffic in theend loop, so the city decided to redesign the area and make parts of the loop bus-only. The opportunity was also used to add some of the first bike lanes into the city.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing a street with a bus stop. A bus is stuck in the garage of a house behind the bus stop, with the rear of the bus stuck through the bus shelter itself.

Not entirely sure what this bus driver's idea was, but I'm fairly certain that's not where the bus line goes.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing a railway track crossing the image from left to right. The middle section between two switches is a single track for both directions.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the same a railway track. The middle section between the two switches is now a two-track section.

Expansion of the rail infrastructure to increase efficiency :)
This two-way, single track section was a huge bottleneck with cargo and passenger trains having to wait for each other. Now, with it being expanded into two tracks, throughput is massively increased.

Mayor Hayes took this opportunity to split the entire city into multiple districts to better facilitate the administration of the city.

To get the residents of the tip of the peninsula to stop the media campaign, mayor Hayes agreed with them to never develop the area beyond single-family homes. The tip also became the first district and named after the city's conservative founder, Harrison George.

What shoud've been an unequivocal sucess for mayor Hayes instead turned into a bit of a PR nightmare as the rich and powerful from the tip of the peninsula decided to start a media campaign against the train station project.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate. This bird's eye shot shows the entrance to the town. The highway reaches from the bottom left to the top right of the image, as does the main street running in parallel, both running into the city in the top right of the image. A mostly empty green strip can be seen between the highway and the main street.

It is finally time for the construction of the first passenger rail connection into Trinity Gate! This strip between the highway and hte main street will be the location for the rail line.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the tip of the peninsula with all its low density housing around the castle ruin park.

As the first major act in his second term, mayor Hayes drafted a plan to losen the strict low-density housing zoning around the castle ruin park, which would allow for denser housing and shops to be developed.

A screenshot of my Cities: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate with a bird's eye view of the entire city, showing the progress of the city so far. The city center can be seen in the center of the image, the tip of the peninsula is to the top right of that. The industrial area cen be seen on the left side of the image and crop and fish farms can be seen in the bottom half of the image.

Andrew Hayes had a very successful first term in office and his approval rating rose significantly through his successful projects. He thus got elected into a second term as mayor of Trinity Gate, promising even more growth and improvements in the future.

A screenshot of my Cities: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate. The area just before the tip of the peninsula can be seen, with some high and medium density buildings dotted between low density housing. The tip itself can also be seen, which is still dominated by low density houses and villas.

The area just before the tip of the peninsula is also densifying, albeit more sporadic and less focused than the city center.

A screenshot of my Cities: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the same place a bit later. Some of the row houses and single family homes have been replaced with denser developments due to the presence of the first bus line.

The second expansion actually houses the city's first bus depot. The first bus line is already operational and has already spurred some densification around the stations.

A screenshot of my Cities: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the last section of the bypass road from the road's perspective. The road viaduct can be seen winding between some low rent housing and general residential highrises.

A screenshot of my Cities: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing a part of the bypass road very narrowly passing in front of a low rent housing block. It is at an acute angle to the house and passes the house's corner very narrowly. A support pillar reaches out from the bypass road and comes very close to the building's front side, almost to the point where one could jump from the bypass support pillar onto a balcony of the low rent housing block.

The view from the bypass :)

Also gotta say measured to the inch with that building xD

Hayes' second major act was implementing a plan that was already being developed in Morris' last term: The city's first recycling center. The city's landfills were filling up to a critical level, so this project was crucial to prevent the city from drowning in trash.
