SimCity Update 1.7 Is Live

Stupid work made me miss it yesterday, but at least I have it now! I do so love flipping on the game and seeing the green update progress bar! I ended up solving my traffic congestion in my University City by placing multiple train and streetcar stations, so as of this update my streets are ridiculously empty; I kinda miss seeing some gridlock!
