Years ago we had one lane roads only, and traffic was controlled. As we opened more and more roads people's response was to buy a 2nd or 3rd vehicle, just because it was faster to drive, no matter the financial cost. That has happened many times, humans just consume more and more as we have more alternatives and more "space". This will happen with downtown roads, traffic will be worse, bikes will share roads with cars, more accidents, more injuries, more contamination in a already saturated area. The common sense would be that transportations means shouldn't compete each other (TTC, LightRail, Cars, Bikes, etc) but to complement each other, so, doesn't makes sense to have more lanes for cars in a section where you can take the TTC. Think on this: what problem are you solving by removing bike lanes? Is the problem for a few, or the problem of the majority of us that live and work in downtown?. Use common sense and don't spend money on futile projects.
