Existing roads will slowly become populated with light electrics and covered (perhaps seasonally) with no need to deal with exhaust gases. Some businesses will begin to provide indoor parking for the electrics. Some parking garages will be turned over to electrics exclusively. There will be almost no new roads or tunnels. It will be a very inexpensive, organic and practical transition.

We don't cover sidewalks or bike paths or pedestrian only areas, we don't cover parks and walkways through them, we don't cover beaches or ground level car parks, or anywhere else people walk and run and skate and bike outside. What would be the push to cover roadways - to the point where the parent poster thinks it will be a "big trend everyone should follow"? There's tiny advantage to not being rained on, but you will already want outdoors clothing for wind chill unless your entire route end to end is covered and heated, and if you're on an electric bike or scooter doing 20+mph you'll want some kind of protective wear as well, most likely.
