What a minute, it is not even clear what "REDUCE MOTOR VEHICULAR CAPACITY" actually means.

A two-way conversion doesn't reduce motor-vehicular capacity, and neither does narrower lanes or adding bike lanes (provided they don't remove traffic lanes). In fact most traffic calming doesn't reduce capacity, if by capacity you mean km-lanes dedicated to vehicles,

If Whitehead means maximum through-put (at below the legal speed limit) it would actually require traffic modelling of the proposed change to determine whether it would actually reduce traffic flow, which is pretty complex as it depends on desired service level, and demand. And does he mean "maximum capacity" at rush hour, or capacity averaged over the day or week? So, maybe he is really just asking for traffic modelling of proposed changes.
