Removing the bike lanes is an extreme overreach of power and has no benefit whatsoever to the city constituents (Drivers, Pedestrians, and cyclists).
If traffic management is the goal, removing the bike lanes in no way reduces the amount of vehicles on the road or the amount of construction on the road. Instead, you force those who would cycle to either drive their car which in turn increases traffic and congestion OR the bike will just be in the middle of the lane (which they are allowed to do and arguably safer) since there are no bike lanes.
Additionally, increasing funding/spend on public transit (as well as completing long overdue projects like the LRT) will help with congestion as you then provide a more reliable means of transit for people.
The obsession with cars is mind-boggling when the most efficient cities are not built around cars, but pedestrians, cyclists, and then cars (in that order).
Leave the governance and control of the bike lanes to the City and focus on the provincial issues.
