The real reason for the gridlock it is the fact that too many people are relying on cars to commute. Removing bike lanes or adding more car lanes are not going to solve gridlock. There are too many cars in the GTA for this problem to be solved by widening roads.

Even adding more car lanes are not going to solve traffic. Actually often it makes things worse. There is even a terminology to describe this called Braess Paradox.

There are also studies and simulations that show improving bike lanes can reduce car traffic.
