Super-Detailed Tram Network has to SAVE the City in Cities Skylines!

We're continuing the brand new city in the Cities: Skylines Region of Coniferia! With the majority of the downtown of Port Douglas now developed, we tackle a couple of tasks: First up, we connect the cities of Port Douglas and Pine Harbour with a new rail line! Next, we need to tackle the horrible traffic situation of Port Douglas, and while it certainly won't be the only way to fix it, a fully-fledged tram network is going to help move citizens around the densely developed island city! Join me in this episode as we commence the development of this public transport network by creating a highly detailed tram line stretching through downtown - hopefully, the first of many more tram lines to come!

- 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!
