how come when i try to add walkways to theones witrh this grid they just get bulldozed when i try to link the a pathway

Needs tooltip icon. Really bad having to mouse over everything.

Great grid, however it seems to me that I can't remove those bus stops, and I can't configure those bus stops in any bus route... And hundard of workers keep waiting for their bus in those bus stops... how to slove it?

illdaincubater - your grids are good for like, early game before traffic becomes a problem. Once you hit the midgame, you are better off deleting your grids than upgrading them which makes them vastly inferior.

I will consider that as gameplay advice - I was under the fear that I better use every single 1sqm. I guess that is my OCD kicking in. ;)

Come to observe made a better grid

This is a grid that I have made

@#thadian: you can leave as much tiles as "dead space" as u want. You don't even have to bulid any high density areas.
I like to pack as much industry on ore and oil as I can to get me as much money as possible to keep taxes VERY low (3-4%). If I had a choice I'd like to live in one of my cities....

It works against them rising to highest level but doesn't prevent it. In the early game it doesn't matter because they won't reach highest level anyway. Mid-late game, you have more than enough money for parks and public transport to compensate it.

That said, having some "dead space" here and there isn't the worst thing - it reduces traffic demand on your roads, giving drivers fewer potential destinations which is a good thing.

@slaka: Everything smaller than 4x4 bulidings (res, com, ind, off) in the neighborhood of a 4x4 bulding will prohibit it to rise to its highes level.

I added some pics: pic1 w/ station, pic2 w/ station + highway connection, pic3 2 OIGs combined

As u can see in pic4 & pic5 I also use it as an Optimized Commercial/Office Grid.

What's the rational behind only allowing 4x4 spaces to fill? And could you provide a screenshot example with train stations and highway connections. Thanks!
