I’d love to see car-free areas in the city but they need to be designed that way from the start. We have enough problems trying to shoehorn in bike lanes on established roads while still accommodating regular traffic.

I think that's why old Europe works so well. They had cities designed for pedestrians have to integrate cars into, not the other way around.
I do think there are some ok middle grounds out there. Pedestrian focused areas that happen to let the delivery vehicles etc. on them seem ok. In those scenarios, it's the cars that feel like they are in the way of the pedestrians and have to maneuver there way around them carefully, instead of the other way around.
