Yes, there are winners and losers. The "loss" here is pretty tiny, but I'm sure there are a few people, by accident of where they live/work, for whom this is very inconvenient. I don't mean to be crass, but, so what? There are zero-sum tradeoffs made by cities every. single. day. In comparison to, say, adding a new road, this is a tiny inconvenience for a tiny group of people. I think it is strictly the novelty of drivers "losing" for once that brings this sort of thinking out. Things have been tilted towards cars for so long that if they aren't treated as entitled to environmental dominance always and everywhere, it seems like a status attack.
