Trying to kill more cyclists will not help anyone. The way to improve traffic flow in Toronto is quite simple, really. One example: Leave the bike lanes on Bloor and turn it into a one-way street. This way there are 3 to 4 lanes moving in one direction. Much cheaper to do, and much safer for everyone.
Toronto has a large and growing population. Just the idea that removing bike lanes from a few streets will somehow lessen the number of cars on the road is ridiculous, something only fools would believe. Removing bike lanes will not suddenly stop traffic congestion from ever happening again.
Drivers don't want to admit that they're not stuck IN traffic, they ARE the traffic and the cause of the congestion, so they look to blame anyone or anything else. When they're sitting stuck in a traffic jam they curse all the drivers around them, but then go online and complain about cyclists and construction and the weather and the stoplights, even though it isn't bikes that cause traffic jams, it's the entire one-person-per-car commuting that's allowed to go on.
