Haven't you heard? They own the road. They will expect infrastructure to take space from other sorry plebs like... pedestrians.
LCC would be better getting in bed with Uber - something that represents the future not the past.

I'd guess if asked "which cycle lanes do you support?" then they would point out places like the thames path. Or that they would be happy with cycle routes all over that double as cab ranks...
If anything the best that might come from it is that cab driver end up doing a form of cycle training similar to truck drivers SUDs. At the moment tho it would seem they understand the current tfl cycle skills is offered for free and statistics don't record how many are/aren't cab drivers so they are making up statistics for numbers of cab drivers and just claiming many have done it.

The trouble is that if they've agreed that the best way to work with cyclists is to support cycling infrastructure then how are they expecting this to happen without existing road space being used.
However, it's a bit of a strange article from the LCC as they attribute a lot of things to the LTDA (e.g. Steve McNamara of the LTDA explained that the organisation didn’t oppose cycle tracks) without any reference to what was actually said. Without that, it's not clear whether the LCC are misinterpreting the LTDA or the LTDA are going back on what they previously agreed.
I agree re: the modal filtering, pretty much the only point of those roads at the moment are for rat-running to avoid Euston Road (admittedly Euston Road is screwed so that's hardly surprising).
