Opinion | America's big cities have blocked off streets to cars during the pandemic. It should stay that way. By gabe_klein and hikaycheng

Until transit and active mobility claim the majority of the street space, a completely car-free city may not yet be possible. Car-lite, on the other hand, is entirely within reach.

Still, political will and follow through is often a problem. Some private companies in the sustainable transportation industry are having a difficult time with mass adoption and profitability, largely due to the subsidy the government provides the private automobile through road maintenance and public infrastructure.

If infrastructure improvements and open streets in the time of COVID-19 primarily occur in wealthier communities, leaving many poorer neighborhoods that are home to essential workers without the same options, existing disparities could be exacerbated. Poor air quality, unsafe streets and lack of recreational space leave these citizens with underlying health issues disproportionate to the general city population.
