Toronto, ON - city center - v1.0

Realistic reproduction of the inner city of Toronto, ON, Canada. Toronto is a sprawling city and stretches from edge to edge on the map, leaving very little room for expansion.

Traffic is notoriosly bad in Toronto, and this reproduction suffered from equally terrible gridlock in early trials, especially the Don Valley Pkwy and the north end of the city. I decided to veer from pure realism and adjusted the road network to cope with the traffic load. The most significant changes compared to real life are:
- the Don Valley Pkwy has much larger and elaborate intersections and
- Rosedale Valley now has a large raised highway that goes into a network of feeder tunnels feeding from several avenues and roads (e.g. Jarvis St., Yonge St., Avenue Rd. and Spadina Rd.

Downtown is (surprisingly) not affected by bad traffic, so the downtown core is an exact replica of real-life (including the number of lanes in most cases).

In my experience the buildings tend to grow really fast on this map resulting in an early population boom and skyscrapers all over the city. The population will grow very rapidly past the 100k mark, even if no transport network is built. If this is not your style you may want to enable the"no city growth" option.

The sprawling city won't pose a challenge in terms of cash flow, it's relatively easy to set up a very profitable company. The challenge is to provide 100% coverage and to cope with the number of passangers in the dense map.

If you like the map please comment and rate! I'm also definitely open to any and all suggestions for future maps.
