There is a Subway station in the street and there are no cars allowed into the area. People mostly either take the Subway, walk or cycle into the city centre.
Plenty of cities in the UK, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Germany have large pedestrianised city centres which have become vibrant and lively locations to be in. Meanwhile, American cities have become nothing but cars and people going straight from A to B, killing aspects like streetfood, street art and street events and keeping the city centre as a gathering spot for events.
