That part of Riverside could honestly be closed to traffic and have near zero effect on mobility. Moving that section of Riverside to one lane already has made the Riverside/South First/South Congress/Barton Springs entanglement a lot less hectic than it used to be.

I wouldn't mind seeing it closed especially as it effectively runs through a park. I have the same thoughts on Barton Springs through Zilker but I don't think that is possible due to the only possible South of the river connectivity to Mopac.
