Keep the bike lanes! I use the Bloor bike lane throughout Etobicoke to get to work.
Sure, currently it does not appear that many people use the lanes (would have to be measured to quantify this statement) in the suburbs of Toronto, but downtown Toronto the bike lanes are filled and busy.
Keeping bike lanes provides safe infrastructure for residents to ride bikes and stay healthy. Density keeps being added in all of Ontario's downtown cores; with that density we definitely need alternative transportation methods besides cars. The gridlock problems do NOT get solved by adding cars lanes (check examples of this throughout major North American cities).
Likewise, the province should let municipalities govern their own affairs, and let them decide about bike lanes. Installation of bike lanes should be supported and funded by the province.
