Keep the bike lanes!
University, Bloor and Yonge St are busy streets with many pedestrians and shops, not really used as a main through way to get around the city. Visiting by bike or TTC is the best option to spend time in the city centre. If you can do something more impactful, get a handle on the construction projects that demand lane closures for an extensively long time, many months even years in some cases, disrupting traffic on main streets.
For cars, they have Davenport and Dupont, which moves better than Bloor, University isn't that congested, and still has 2+ lanes even with the bike lanes, Yonge has never been a driving street, you can't make turns anywhere off of it downtown. It's way better suited for walking and biking.
For those living down town, they don't need a car to get around - because of the bike lanes and transit systems, which still need improvement.
Removing the bike lanes is not a path forward to getting the city moving better. Its way better to have more options, that result in less cars on the road.
