It has compelling data that backs up your contention that slower traffic and on-street parking leads to greater sales and more urban vitality. I got the book from interlibrary loan. It has lots of interesting data and research on traffic, traffic lanes, bike lanes, parking, walking, traffic speed, etc. that have improved the economic and livability vitality of many cities. Examples would include eliminating lanes (more lanes do not help congestion), lowering speed limits, adding biking and walking, and adding downtown housing).
