CA Cities to Lose All Zoning Powers in 2 Days

Streets are dangerous because of cars zipping around. Cars contribute to air pollution quality (until electrified) and noise quality.

So, you ban cars from streets and allow only pedestrians and cyclists. Next, you allow local amenities to pop up so you don't feel the need to get a car out.

The suburban pattern of development as it currently exists isn't the only way to facilitate the quality of life you're looking for.

When are US cities going to ban cars? My guess is 0-2 in the next century.

You can't ban cars before you have the infrastructure and commercial resources to replace what cars were used for.

Even electrified, tires shed loads of nasty particulates.

And at higher speeds make a good chunk of the noise, too.
