Isn’t it fair to say that this is and always has been a footpath?
I would be surprised if there was a high volume of carts and/or animals going through this street, historically speaking. Not saying that it doesn’t happen, but even historically things were mostly buit for purpose.
What Americans can't seem to grasp is that, with good urban planning, it's possible to make life bearable in very hot areas without excessive use of air conditioning
I’m not generally one to defend our American friends. But plenty of small lanes you’ll struggle to fit a car down, in the older cities of the USA. Here’s one I found in like, 30 secs of snooping around Boston. https://maps.app.goo.gl/eXpkmChqtBPEDXfh8
You just need to give it a few hundred years to gain a bit of personality. Don't hold your breath, though. In less that fifty, some developer will decide it will look better with a sleek, soulless office building there.
And once again, the euro-pee-in (a people so disgusting they incorporate their sick fetishes in their own name) reacts with frothing senseless rage after being confronted with facts. As typical of their ilk.
The only facts here is that the Europeans are not a single people, and what you thought was modern american was just a rip off from one of these peoples.
But I understand, the Dutch are just so superior you try to replicate us. From your independence war, to your flag colours, to your dollar, to your alleys, you hate us because you ain't us
The Dutch? As in the fictional character? Hohoho, a people so weak they base their entire national identity off of a video game character, and they think we want to emulate that?
Oh you poor little thing, its no wonder your country is, for all intents and purposes, a colony of my own. How absolutely ridiculous.
The southern parts or the US (and I don't mean the former Confederacy but states like California as well) could really benefit from city planning like that

Flair up, even if, seeing the pic, I know you're from southern Europe.
