Starting a New City on an Island in Cities Skylines!

We're going to start a brand new city in the Cities: Skylines Region of Coniferia! I've been mentioning this in several episodes, and its finally time to lay down the foundations of what I hope will be a great new city - a city that can rival, or even surpass, the current dominance of Pine Harbour, and create a whole new power dynamic in the region!
In this very first episode dedicated to starting this brand new city, we initiate the major infrastructure needs that a city will need: highways, roads, railway network - and of course massive bridges due to this city being based on an island!

- What's the rationale behind this project:
What happens if a washed-up-used-to-be-YouTuber gathers a bunch of "generic" looking assets (though mostly inspired by Australian / Canadian cityscapes) with the hopes of creating a Cities: Skylines region full of towns and cities that both look realistic and are inspired by Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, while at the same time don't really replicate any one particular style? No idea, let's find out.

Join me in this Cities: Skylines modded gameplay / let's play / timelapse series as we expand the region, and build new infrastructure, highways, public transit, industrial pockets, NIMBY-neighbourhoods, sprawling suburbs and bustling downtowns. And of course, use tress excessively to cover up any imperfections!
