No, you're right, they are not a tiny minority. > But I think it is safe to assume that London is not proposing > dismantling of infrastructure, just restrictions on use. If you ban vehicles in a city I would expect that some of the infrastructure necessary to support a large number of vehicles would become unnecessary, especially parking areas, but also roads that would be adapted to accommodate alternatives. Some sort of taxi service would be necessary and they would require some part of the infrastructure, but it isn't difficult to imagine an automated taxi/transit system that wouldn't be practical with a requirement to accommodate private vehicles. In any case my points were that 1. Whatever the plan was, the handicapped would be accommodated and 2. Progress deemed necessary probably wouldn't be impeded because of the requirements of the handicapped.
