I think with a good light rail/streetcar system, subway system, bike paths and generally way less auto dependence, it would be plenty doable. I don't see the diagonals as much of a problem and the circuses are not to be confused with traffic circles. They are over twice as wide as the large roundabouts in Washington DC, so at that scale you are talking about a series of slightly curved stop-lights at worst. Not a giant roundabout that when mixed with Diagonal streets tends to cause chaos.
