Removing bike lanes from downtown Toronto is one of the most detrimental things you can do to the city. The reason why traffic is so bad is due to the lack of safe and reliable alternative transit options. Cars take up about 5x as much space a bike and 10x as much as a pedestrian despite usually only carrying one or two passengers during commuting hours. Beyond the two major subway lines and few streetcars, there are not enough ways to get around the city. Bikes are an efficient, eco-friendly, and healthy way to get around downtown. We should be investing in more and safer alternative transit options, including dedicated bike lanes, to prevent accidents from happening.
I recommend watching these Youtube channels/videos as inspiration for what the city should be doing:
