Removing bicycle lanes does not improve traffic. If you want to decrease traffic, you need to give commuters options that aren't cars. Increase TTC efficiency, add more bicycle lanes. Get people out of cars and using other forms of transportation. There have been several studies done on this topic that all show that bicycle lanes do not contribute to traffic congestion and increasing the number of bicycle lanes does help improve traffic congestion. Oil isn't forever, we will run out. We will also eventually run out of the rare earth metals needed to make rechargeable batteries. We need better, more sustainable forms of transportation. Bicycles are a form of that.

Instead of taking away bike lanes, add more and Improve and increase TTC service. It shouldn't take someone unable to drive more than 45 minutes to get somewhere in this city.
