High density and high traffic urban areas would be the first targets obviously.

Rather than build streets underground, in somewhere like Manhattan why not build pedestrian areas on top, with direct building entrance at level 2?

often the pedestrians don't cause traffic as much as other cars (my perspective as a lay person)

Sure, but this way allows the city to begin again without the angst of trying to ban cars.

Isn’t this basically what Chicago did?
