Holy crap. It sounds like TPTB want to lock you guys back in the 16th century. Why have modern conveniences like cars when you can walk everywhere? But what happens when it gets cold and there's snow on the ground?
No snow these days because global boiling, of course... But I defy even the fanatics on the council to cycle in the wind and rain we often have here, up and down the phenomenally steep hills. Totally ableist.
Keep up the struggle. Here in Leeds, they built cycle lanes everywhere. All of us disabled people were.....far from delighted, shall we say. They reduced the number of blue badge parking places. Ditto. Taxis could no longer drop us off outside where we had actual appointments. Which annoyed the taxi drivers somewhat, too. And still they continue the efforts to 'improve' it all for 'everybody'. We have decided that impairment of our physical movements equals exclusion from the term everybody.

Livable cities ... more like prison blocks.

So sad... People with disabilities are leading the fight here too.
