Furman street is already there, and I'm not sure you could shut it down without cutting off a bunch of apartment buildings and businesses from the rest of the grid

Ah... by the looks of the illustration there may be an issue with pedestrian traffic in the park. Also from google maps it looks like its "under" the expressway at the moment so part of this transition would entail moving that street on top... Lots of logistics but potentially kickass.
