Most of the countries around the world are focused to eliminate car usage from their cities due to their environmental impact. Each bike that's on the road is one less car, meaning less pollution. By eliminating bike lanes, or avoiding the creation of new ones, the province is creating a restriction to how many people will use the bicycle as a cheap, fast and ecologic method of transportation.
Also, has been pointed out by many studies that the removal of bike lanes will have close to no effect to improve the traffic and travelling times by car.
The focus to reduce the gridlock should be in creating alternative modes of transportation like TTC or bikes in order to remove as many cars as possible from the road.
That way, the ones that really need to use the car as well as the emergency services won't be stuck in traffic.
