In this situation I would also try bracketing 3, 5 or 7 shots in high speed and merge them in Photoshop HDR. You can filter out the movement blur when the images are combined and you can retain color and detail in the shade and light.

You could have tried a second shot exposedfor the sky and blended the two in Photoshop or any other editing software.
Most editing programs also alow graduated filter effects and gradients. Check out Lynda.com the Adobe tutorial specialists.Great idea by the way and I may have a go myself.
PS a RAW image will give you more processing control.

I'm with abc1234 on the polarizer. That is from my experience as well.
If you use a ten stop ND it should produce a nice(really blurred) color effect for the street.(30 second or longer exposure) I mainly use my ND(B&W 10 stop; these haven't been out long in America) on rough water across a lake of sea to give a nice smooth effect.
Bracket the shot for exposure difference.
