In theory I love this idea and have proposed this to many people.

Problem is how do you get deliveries to the businesses if you block both their front and back streets? Now you have to deliver and hand truck everything a block and you'd just have delivery trucks idling around that outside.

Closing it to traveling vehicles wouldn’t mean we would get rid of the road, they could have those retractable bollards so that trucks could get through

I guess in addition what I'm saying is all of those businesses, or at least a large majority are VERY against this idea because of what I mentioned with logistics.

Without the businesses you're impacting on board, it's dead in the water.

Plus, it creates jobs by adding the need for gate attendant positions to let work trucks/emergency vehicles in.
