Preventing bike lane construction to preserve lanes for car traffic is an absurd idea if the intent is to prevent gridlocked traffic. Traffic is made of cars and can't be resolved by eliminating or sabotaging every possible alternative to driving.
It is astonishing that anyone with any level of responsibility for making policy decisions thinks this is a good idea. It's genuinely hard to believe that this was proposed in good faith.
Traffic lanes support more traffic. Bikes lanes support bikes. Traffic lanes induce demand for cars. Every extra car is more traffic. Bikes in separated lanes do not contribute to car traffic. Roads with fewer lanes have a lower maximum throughout, but all roads lead to congestion when there are no realistic alternatives to driving.
Cars take an enormous amount of space and infrastructure. Even with Ontario's considerable resources, we can't have everyone using the absolute least efficient mode of transportation at all times and expect to compete with places in the world that are less pathologically addicted to driving.
