Opinions of my Springfield/ Re-Design
Yours looks nice. It reminds me a lot of mine, where everything is square and/neatly surrounded by roads. I bet once you buy more land you'll do a more elaborate redesign. I know that's my plan.

Looks good! I particularly like the green / water areas -- the farm and the church neighborhood.
My small suggestion - to create a more wide open look and make things a bit less gray, try to use as few roads as possible (only what you need), and avoid using roads to separate buildings. Instead, use things like grass, water, and sometimes pavement to separate buildings. For an example of how I tried to minimize the roads in my town, you can check out my sig. Also, look for ways to group similar buildings together into districts as you did in pic #2. Good work!
