I don't think there is any savings to making complete streets. There are obvious capital savings to not expanding the airport parkway I'm just saying the idea that Uhaniau doesn't use it but his food sits in traffic on that route so it matters to him is dubious.

But if they were making short trips before because they had a pass and now they don’t because they have to pay the full marginal cost then improving service probably won’t help much to increase paid revenue.
Even if there were zero private cars in the city, the city would still have to maintain Uhaniau‘s street and all the roads leading to Uhaniau‘s street so that Uhaniau can get emergency services, mail, Amazon deliveries, taxi services, etc. The city’s road budget would still probably be most of what it is now.
