Uhhh….why do people need to walk down the middle of the street? What tangible benefit is realized?

every time streets are blocked to cars and people can walk safely between different businesses it’s like a place is transformed into a healthy public space where people enjoy spending time and not just because they have a specific reason to be there. cars plowing through the middle of it makes it dangerous and pollutes the air. on the avenue they have tried outside seating for several of the restaurants but who wants to sit there in danger of getting run over by a pickup truck or even just choking in the exhaust fumes

Yes, but the mere fact that pedestrian plazas exist does not automatically advocate for their presence everywhere.
