I have a few thoughts about working with Atlas track.
You don't really need the 40" Flex straights. They don't flex like HO track.
You can cut any track to a custom length or arc angle. Order item #6057 when you order the track. Those replace the ties when the track is cut and add the snap connectors.
Be sure to order enough extra rail joiners. Good to have in inventory.
Atlas doesn't ship the "short" switches any longer that are listed in the RRT library. Some have a removable piece included to make the "short" version
I believe that you would be happier with #5 turnouts for the crossovers.
Give the Atlas track planning software a try. It supports multiple languages. You may find it easier to learn.

#Carl, you're not the first person to tell me that! I'm going to use 054 and 063 is it best that I buy the curves already in the measure?yes.

#Thanks for this tip I did not know and I will buy.Be sure to order enough extra rail joiners. Good to have in inventory.
#Yes, I felt it in the old layout.Atlas does not ship the "short" switches any longer that are listed in the RRT library. Some have a removable piece included to make the "short" version
#But I can remove the straight as I have seen in some pictures.Yes

#Sorry, but I did not understand.Smaller radius, almost flat switch for mainline crossovers at the top and bottom
I have modified your track plan in the Atlas software. I have Attached the software and the Enzoville layout file.
Here's a 3D:
I added reversing loops, #5 mainline crossovers. The fitment is somewhat different. I am not sure why you the O54 switch complex in the East.
Anyway, good luck with the rebuild and I hope this provides some ideas.
PS - right-click & save-as for the files.
Carl, Thank you very much !!
Your work was very good and really you gave good ideas.
I'm will install the Atlas software.
I have a doubt. Why use #5 in replace 054 switch?
Thanks !
