How does the emergency vehicle get past if there’s a service truck making deliveries? Or is it a 2 land road situation? Or do they honk until the truck moves out of the way? I’m having trouble picturing it.
Procedural. Sensors on each block so the dispatcher can route the emergency vehicle around the blockage.
Have back alleys for a given neighborhood so that service vehicles can park without blocking emergency vehicles
Have delivery spots every couple of blocks. With smaller but more frequent stores, a couple rounds with a hand card would work fine. This would leave lanes clear
You would still need (small) trucks to stock the walkable grocery stores.
They can use the emergency vehicle lane. It’s really more a service vehicle lane:
Emergency vehicles, waste collection, goods delivery, etc.

There are a few ways around it.

Ty this makes a lot of sense
