Who could possibly suggest such a thing?
Speaking of which, I seem to have fallen behind on these bits of shameless self-promotion. Here is an article on infrastructure stimuli, one on light rail in San Antonio, and most recently one about turning NYC’s Broadway into a pedestrian mall.

ROT:“Broadway might have sufficient pedestrians to maintain retail businesses  but it might not. It may be that many of the pedestrians originally arrived by taxi or in other automobiles”

at least in the United States) at market-rate prices is somehow “anti-transit?”
CPZ, this is all just a political football game.
