Town is a mess
I once tried to rebuild my town in small sections and it just didn't work out. I spent hours and hours and ended up nuking it anyway.
About nuking: it was completely worth it. In the end I had plenty more free land, and got rid of some buildings I no longer needed for the Consumerism bonus (I originally had built a bunch of quick-e-marts and discovered I no longer needed most of them)
When I nuked my town I started by just drawing out some main roads and rivers to divide out some areas: a couple of "residential" areas, a 'nice' business/entertainment area, a scuzzy downtown area, a wooded / mountainous area and so on. I spread things like restaurants etc throughout. It even gave me a chance to setup "the North Pole" with my Chirstmas items, etc. All in all it took alot less time to put together than my attempt at manually redesigning (at least the main buildings and roads-- decorating was extra) but it was completely worth it.
When I was done rebuilding it (making sure there was plenty of free space in each area for future similar or suitable buildings) I filled the rest of the space with houses, Krusty Burgers etc-- things that are duplicates that I can easily sell when new content comes out
If you're wanting to Nuke - we're not in an event and I don't think we'll have a new event for a while with the SH update so it's the best time to go! You can even nuke your main town and rebuild it slowly as you grind or work on SH
