From what I've seen pedestrian area conversion typically includes perimeter parking.
A interesting case similar to conversion to exclude cars, is the conversion of very old places to have cars. Guanajuato, MX was built up in the 1500's. For the majority of the old town residences and businesses alike are inaccessible by car. The city did convert some major roads, creeks and mines to roads, but parking for many is relatively distant.
