I walk through parts of the park at least 10-15 times a week ... and I have no issue with cars at the current traffic levels or speeds. I have had zero issues crossing the street, and the automotive traffic neither feels threatening or sounds too noisy. So personally I don't feel there is a need, or a huge benefit, from closing the park to cars.
(Note that even if it were closed to cars, we would still need to allow service vehicles and trucks in that stretch, to supply the Boathouse and all the various festivals.)
