This is a bit surprising because it's already in place. Usually, push-back is because humans are naturally resistant to change and people can't envision the benefits as easily as the drawbacks.
Maybe these concerns needed to be addressed, possibly by traffic calming the areas around the pedestrian zone? However, my money is that the "clogged up side streets" won't get any better.
