Where's the profit in that?!?!
/s
I know you wrote \s, but:
-
It is more probable that pedestrians jump into a store and buy something which is more tax income for the state.
-
People will walk more and there will be less particles in the air. Less sick days means less expenses for health insurers and more work hours for employers.
-
Property value will increase
Not ideal for middle and lower class... But most of the profits never are!

I would not be surprised to see that vegetation like this can reduce heart attacks and strokes by 50%, by lowering blood pressure.
Still a main steet on the right side. Basically got rid of a few parking spaces and access to shops resupply.
Getting rid of the on street parking would be a great start and first step, the next is a tram line and dedicated ebus up middle with a cycle lane and ban private cars.
