Yes, access for residents (both for parking and for loading and unloading) is a problem. However, you could have a permit system. For example, you could be allowed to drive three blocks on a restricted street (your block and the two adjacent ones); the speed limit should be 5 or 10 mi/hour, not a problem if you are driving just one or two blocks. This would add an insignificant amount of car traffic to the street. Of course, it must be enforced -- drivers without the required permit should be ticketed and it should be a moving violation. Parking on the street should be handled the same way -- you can park on the same three blocks you are allowed to drive.
