In return get rid of street parking and use the curb lane for combination of patio space like is happening now during COVID and expanded pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. Traffic concerns could be largely ameliorated by adding left turn lanes at key intersections - really the curb lane is barely used as a traffic lane on most streets anyways.
