As a tourism destination, the loss of parking at/around the market would cause a huge decrease in the volume of people. Tour vans use the market cut-through as a pick-up/drop-off point for large groups. While I think it would be nice to walk/bike through the market without worrying about being backed into by a delivery truck, from an economic standpoint I doubt the vendors would support it.
They could and would allow local access by the vendors. the street closures being discussed allow for local access by the residents and vendors.
