I don't think this makes much sense, we need to be looking to ways in which we can reduce carbon emissions while increasing methods of transportation that can be used by all people not solely those who can afford cars and the associated fees.
I have used various modes of transportation through my life in the city of Toronto, while I am in a car, I am constantly stressed because many people do not seem to understand the rules of the road and stop their cars randomly, there are also a number of vehicles that try to squeeze through the intersections and block traffic. When I go into the downtown core I much prefer to use alternate modes of transportation which generally do not have these higher levels of stress. When I walk or bike I am also able to stop at a wider range of shops that tickle my fancy because I am not stuck in traffic. Biking in the protected lanes has also been much safer for bikers and drivers as there is a bit less of the intermingling between the transportation types. Further bike lanes provide further protection for pedestrians who seem to no longer look both ways before crossing the road.

Rather than remove bike lanes, we should look to increase the amount of protected bike lanes within the city to create a connected network that does not rely on going through parks. Through an increase in protected bike lanes I have already noted a greater number of younger people and children learning to navigate commuting through the city. We have to recognize that safety and access to the city is intended for all residents regardless of age or access to a moto vehicle. We should also recognize that drivers are no longer obeying traffic laws and that even being a pedestrian has become frightening at times. Bike lanes increase safety for cyclists and pedestrians while also getting bikers out of the way of motorized vehicles.
