Hello Mayors!
Bikes! And also traffic fixes! Speaking of traffic fixes, we have noticed the growing crowds that have been building up on your streets after the last update, and we have included some balancing to try to alleviate the amount of pedestrian traffic.
If you haven’t read the Developer Diary that we posted yesterday about all things bicycles, you can read it here!
We have also worked with Timeister to give you all a brief overview of what the Patch contains in video format!

Leveling resource delivery updates and fixes:
[list]The building leveling up resource delivery will now be handled by the industrial companies, resource storage warehouse, and outside connections.
The vehicle will deliver the resource to multiple targets by carrying as many resources as possible when dispatched from the resource owner, and will accept new resource requests during the delivery trip. This change should help reduce the traffic in big cities that have plenty of resource requests at the same time.
Leveling building icon added to Info View to inform which houses are waiting for resources
Delivery vans that are transporting materials for building upgrades will now prioritize resources from the city when there is a surplus of resources within the city.
Multiple fixes to tourism, City Attractiveness, and Lodging.
Fixed too many shopping citizens causing unintended traffic in the city.
Fixed levitating citizens, caused by them leaving too early, and resetting back to the source.
Fixed citizens being stuck and spinning around when trying to take a selfie at a street corner with very different sidewalk widths.
Fixed companies buying resources from outside connections even though there is a surplus of that resource within the city.
Fixed new citizens not moving into the residential signature buildings after the initial citizens no longer occupy them.
Fixed signature buildings not attracting residents despite demand.
Fixed signature buildings not providing well-being bonuses.
Fixed companies going bankrupt and moving out of Seafarer Shipyard signature building continuously due to running out of resources before a new shipment can be ordered.
Fixed rebuilt signature buildings remaining unoccupied by companies.
Fixed fluctuating Efficiency if the building runs out of resources.
Fixed Info View of Mail Service Availability always displaying an incorrect (low) value of mail processing.
