Yup. I live on a street that was recently de-car'd.
They didn't add a bus, light rail, trolley, or anything. They kept all the parking. But they painted cute little two way bike lanes. It's a regular pedestrian promenade. Surely increases the value of my condo.
Nor did they allocate reasonable pickup/dropoff taxi zones or delivery loading/unloading, so its a giant mess of double parking and people improvising.
Also makes literally zero trips for me faster, and most of them slower.
And all the traffic has spilled over onto adjacent streets creating worse traffic.
