Making a road with shops and services pedestrian-only will greatly increase foot traffic and people shopping there. Now people will walk down the street and stop in places they happen to find. In cars people who to know about it and specifically choose to go there.
Even though I only go to stores that I planned to go to ahead of time, this switch is great because it means things are closer together and there is roughly the same amount of walking as driving to multiple stores and needing to walk from the lot into each one. Plus the view is better!
