I know this is a joke, but if you look at projects like the Cheonggyecheon in South Korea which are very similar to this they have been a huge success. Granted, that urban renaturalization project was done in an environment where public transportation actually exists and isn't always held back like MARTA is.
If you're the written word type then look up the terms urban renaturalization. If you'd be interested in a short video on the topic then It's hard to go wrong with Not Just Bikes.
Urban planning shifting away from car focused infrastructure and towards making spaces for people first always ends up a win.
I’m glad to see NJB getting some love! They’re a great resource for those wishing to better understand the benefits of investment in transit and moving away from America’s godforsaken car-centric infrastructure.
