In fact, being more positive about LTNs was associated with a slight increase in relative vote share!
Why?
Maybe amidst loud opposition there is quiet support or indifference (polling agrees!).
Or for many voters, green transport infra is likely less important than housing, local economy etc.

But London is unique in the UK. In most other cities, LTNs have been removed or failed to progress beyond planning.
Is this because political risk is accurately perceived as lower in London?
More likely it relates to inner London's unique transport context: low car ownership + comprehensive public transport accessibility.
