Do you think it's a good map? I restarted yesterday and I really do not know if I should restart again just for the south side of the river and the Re-tail area.

Although your opening post was nearly a week ago, I can respond in general.
It is a good idea to know what you want with a town.
This will help you with figuring whether a layout looks like you would be willing to accept it.
Here are some questions a person can ask himself/herself:
Do I want the beach to be continuous?or (like as seen in the pic) am I fine with separate beaches?
What do I want for my town?s perfect fruit?
Are numerous ponds an issue? (Meaning, do I want it limited to no more than two?)
Do I have a theme in mind? (If not, I can be a little more relaxed and just go for a town with a nice flow.)
I recently eliminated one of my bonus towns. (I refer to it as a
bonus town because I don?t have in my public signature.) I felt no pleasure playing it anymore.
My requirement was that my replacement town must have a continuous flow with the beach and that it have the peach as its perfect fruit. (It is the only town I have with the perfect truth the peach. So, I needed that particular fruit.)
I wanted a continuous, uninterrupted, area for the beach so that I could navigate the town more freely from one side to another. (It makes it easier on me.)
Before I accepted the replacement town, I actually laid down temporary paths?to create to some extent a grid?for determining locations for the mayor?s house and houses for additional humans as well as where I would place the houses for the ten villagers.
After I did all that, and coming into establishing a new town with over 47 million bells, I accepted it. The secondary humans receive 15 percent to start. So, I have brought them in, had them add to the mayor?s total bells, and let them go. I used them, of course, to welcome incoming villagers (especially those appearing on the screen menu as the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th?and after that?slots) to make certain I house-plotted them well. I started this around the the third week of March. My mayor now has 120 million bells.
My replacement town is progressing pretty well.
