And which one is it that you think is being proposed to be “ripped out completely” in this article?
Based on your link, I believe in this context it is ‘streets’.
Well, just go back and read my arguments, and then recognize that all of them apply to ‘streets’, and that making the distinction between ‘streets’ and ‘roads’ does not weaken my arguments in any way.
Try a different approach, something besides pedantry.
A road may also have buildings on either side though its main function is as a transportation route, a way of getting from one place to another, especially between towns.
Just for starter: “especially” does not mean “exclusively”.

Well, the expert is proposing to rip out roads - so my first guess would be they mean roads, not streets.
By the definition in your link, a ‘road’ would be between two cities, and the paths inside the city (where the buildings are) are ‘streets’.
The expert is talking about removing the paved surfaces inside cities, so he is talking about ‘streets’, by your definition.
Apparently the expert uses different definitions from yours.
