Would it help to start by restricting it to be one way? A single lane of traffic going in one direction only is very easy for pedestrians to cross, but still allows access to the (tiny number of) parking spaces in the area. The closed lane could become a two-way cycle track. I’m inclined to go straight to a full closure but I wonder if one way would be easier to accept for businesses. If it indeed shows an increase in foot and bicycle traffic, they might be more willing to accept a full closure.
