We could add that to the river, and you could use the gateway clipper to travel around. But we felt like this might be a little cheesy and make the gameplay a bit dishonest to real life... folks dont actually use the gateway clipper to cross rivers, most of the time.
We could also add a bunch more impassables as mountains. Terrain is really steep all around the city. if that would make gameplay better, that's cool.
...Also, Natty, to your point about not everyone on CC living in Pittsburgh - I've never been to Montreal or San Francisco, but I enjoy playing on both of those maps. And this is even though I don't remember anything being particularly unique about the gameplay in those maps. They are just a different map, another option that is fun to play. I think folks are generally alright with that...

When you say it has a lot of pixelation, do you mean the map as a whole or just certain aspects such as the bridges?? The photos of the bridges are a combination of public images that were photographed from on top of Mt. Washington in Pittsburgh. The others were taken from Google Maps.

You can attack them from any territory in a City Council District, but only once you hold the entire city council district.
