Wouldn't removing street…

Wouldn't removing street parking go further than stopping the flow of cyclists?
As someone who cycles I have never seen the bike lanes so utilized in my 50 years of biking. It has become a vital route for many commuters and gig workers.
The answer to getting people around is not more cars but a variety of modes of transportation, many are much cleaner and more efficient than cars. Also, when it comes to the bloor bike lanes, I see it as a poor use of time to drive a car overtop the underground transportation system. Instead of sinking the 401 underground take the subway. Driving in Toronto should be for deliveries and emergency vehicles.
Also, the eglinton cross town should have already been on line and alleviating traffic years ago, so if more effort were put there this might not have been an issue.
