The city does this every Sunday in the summer in Boston on Newbury Street and it's absolutely fantastic. I swear the street feels like it doubles in foot traffic. It really feels like that's how the street should have been designed from the beginning. Sadly, people still complain all the time about parking on the most hectic shopping street in Boston and I just have absolutely no sympathy for them.
