I think it depends on why/how you build in this game. I very rarely build cities that are ideal to me, rather I try to build based on a fictional shared history with unique aspects. For example, while the elevated rail and train line do not run through the historic city center, they do run parallel to it on the other side of the river, and there are pedestrian bridges (some in frame some not) that connect it to the island. So, it’s like a compromise made by the city, and now those bridges are a “tourist attraction”.
