A neighborhood should be allowed to do that when they pay for all of their own road maintenance via HOA dues. Till then, if people pay taxes for the streets, they should be entitled to use them.
(And the "damage to pavement" and "risk of hitting a kid" arguments don't apply to kids walking, obviously.)
