Oh, and for the record, I did find a way to come up with an alternate answer, true to my usual style of searching out the odd. Granted, it could not possibly be because the city is and never will be major, but it is always fun to reveal the potholes I fall in.
There is a very defensible alternative major city (google is your friend here). But sometimes you just have to go with the reasonable-solver constraint.

Regardless of the week, I thought this was a great puzzle. Thanks for the bonus Matt!

given the "Urban Design", no, there is no defensible alternate answer. Particularly with one other confirming grid entry.

Solved both. But no nudges needed on this one. Thanks, Matt for an extra puzzle this week.

Very nice reveal, @Bird Lives! I solved this one, but didn't notice until I saw Matt's reveal and now yours that the ARCHes symmetrically form an ARCH over the GATEWAY. A very nice touch.
