Pay attention to the article detail before screaming bloody - "city center" means only a small portion of the city. There is nothing wrong with this rule - many cities across the world do the same thing in crowded areas within the cities. Too bad NYC is too reliant on taxis to implement this rule.

If the Calle Gran Via (incorrectly referred to as the Gia Via in the article) became strictly a pedestrian, bicycle, or public transport way, that would be great. It would be similar to the changes in traffic through Times Square, but on a somewhat larger scope.

If it's just this section, or a version thereof, then that shouldn't be an issue. However, anything much larger than that would be impossible.
