That's cool, but suburban US cities don't have a city center. It's a sprawl of strip malls. There's no route that can solve this problem. Cities would need to be redesigned from the ground up.

"Suburban cities" is a very funny concept to me. Typically the suburbs are not a part of the city.

"Transplant this pattern onto a suburb and it breaks." Well, we're talking about the city, aren't we?

Let's pick a city, I'll let you choose, and tell me which suburb within that city is a classic example of the pattern you feel is commonplace. Then we can discuss a concrete plan.
