The Columbus Ave project is good but it is not a total redesign all they did was make lanes narrow, use the space that came from the narrowing to add bikes lanes and add new paint. Was there any new construction besides the traffic islands ?

If we really want to transform a street we need to start from the ground up.

Bulldoze the entire street and sidewalk leaving just enough to enter buildings along the street and start over with taking into account people on foot/ in wheelchairs , bikers, public transit, deliveries (depending on area) and cars.

Then focus on ways to figure out how to make it work such as testing with all those mentioned above in a real world situation to see if all can access and move about in the area without problems.
