I don't think giving the province the ability to remove already existing bike lanes is necessary, nor a good idea. That seems like a municipal matter, and we should be able to trust that the municipal government will make the right decisions based on what the needs of the city are at that time.
Traffic isn't the only consideration. Providing transportation options that are better for the environment or more affordable are also incredibly important and valuable things to consider for the overall wellbeing of our city.
It's also not clear to me how removing bike lanes would help traffic at all to begin with. If anything, we should add more bike lanes so that more people feel safe to bike more often, and there are less cars on the road. That seems like it could actually reduce traffic.
