It's a fine enough intermediary solution, but you've just replaced car-centric infrastructure with scooter-centric infrastructure. When people are against cars it's not specifically the "car" part it's the way motorized vehicles make the infrastructure worse for all. Replacing cars with scooters isn't really a good idea.
What you see most other places is that they convert wide roads to large pedestrian crossing and bicycle lanes and then on a longer timespan narrow them down to create small green spaces, resting areas and public utilities like repair stations, kiosks and public toilets.
Sure. I thought you were advocating for keeping roads as-is, but just for scooters.
