I must specify that removing bike lanes and returning them to cars is the literal dumbest and most backwards thing a city can do to fix traffic, because it will NOT fix traffic. All of those people on a bike will just get back into their cars, and since cars are bigger than bikes, you will have DRAMATICALLY reduced the overall capacity of the road. If you want to fix or even just ease congestion, then you must give drivers more alternatives to driving, which includes safe and protected bicycle lanes. Wanting to rip it all out is a huge disservice to cyclists and will cause an increase in travel time and road fatalities as cyclists will have less protections and space against cars. I really hope you all one day get on a bike and go on a tour around Downtown Toronto or even the suburbs to see the good and dangerous about cycling in Toronto and other major cities across Ontario, seriously, all of you should go on a ride through Toronto, see how nice it is and how fast you can get across the city on bike paths and lanes, then see how dangerous and scary it gets when that lane ends and you're stuck on a busy Yonge Street with no alternative routes because the "Side Streets" are never congruent with the arterials and is frankly disrespectful to cyclists to make them take the longer way around
