Adding more bike paths to reach city center from suburbs and locking down city center for cars should follow next. There are plenty of research which shows that slow traffic brings more business to shops
On the bright side, no sane person drives into oldtown for a looong time. Especially after recent raise of parking fees. Quite a few streets are already car-free. Transit traffic is going to be banned any time now (said for the past 5 or 10 years, but eventually it will happen).
As for bike paths, few neighbourhoods were well connected for decade+. More and more connections are being built. Terrain and city density is not exactly friendly though. Downtown is, well, down in a valley. While banks ain't truly steep, living in a flat country it is quite a mental stop. On top of that, lots of people live in soviet-era blocks 5km+ from downtown. Add that bike paths ain't bee-line straight and it ends up a 30min+ ride one way for a beer.
Just 2 streets near by my home got the bike path treatment.
It was a 2 way car road now it is a bike path and 1 way car road :D
Also you can turn in your old car for a e scooter or a bike https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/1168325/lithuania-o...
