I worry more about emergency services access...

Emergency services have a lot of problems delivering care in current city traffic.

Sure, but if they don't have any roads to travel on what then?

But I've seen another comment mentioning the distinction between roads and streets so I guess that might explain why I can't imagine how that would be realistic.

In the Netherlands they use bike lanes.

A two way bike lane is wide enough for emergency vehicles like an ambulance, and bikers get out of the way.
