Getting rid of street parking hurts people with handicapped permits. In Israel, if you are eligible for a handicapped permit then you can get a street parking space in front of your apartment building reserved for your car (with signage saying that if the car parked there doesn't specifically have license plate number X then it will be towed). Telling these people to go a few blocks to an underground parking garage, even if that garage is accessible, directly hampers their mobility and independence.

Well in America that doesn't exist, so street parking must not affect disabled people on America. Or maybe "street parking" is too vague a term.

I live in California. My neighbors are disabled and got blue curb for handicap in front of their place when they moved in.

We have the same in NL. Accessibility doesn't need to suffer at the hands of bike lanes
