If you live in a walkable area, handicapped accessibility means ramps and elevators, and handicapped-accessible public transit.
Even in our current largely non-walkable cities, there's neighborhoods with high walkability scores. Doesn't make sense for planners to hand out edicts from on high, which force these places to spend money on parking that they don't want. Which, by the way, causes sprawl since more land is devoted to cars rather than people.
It makes sense to mandate that a certain ratio of parking be allotted to the handicapped. But if the total parking is zero, then the ratio would net out to zero.
