Please do not rip up the bike lines. Too many people have already died trying to bike in this city from the lack of good biking infrastructure. A government should not be trying to make it harder and more dangerous for people to get around via a mode of transit that is both affordable and quick. If you want to address gridlock in downtown Toronto, give funding to help quicken construction times so thay roads can open up, put cameras at intersections to ticket people that block the box at key intersections, get rid of street parking on key streets, convert more roads to one-way grids so that cars can make turns quicker/more frequently preventing back up and congestion in turn lanes. Getting rid of bike lines will barely give you one additional lane - the amount of congestion relief you would get from it is miniscule and would come at the cost of the safety of others and eliminating a viable way for people to get around that takes up waaay less space than a car (meaning it actually helps to reduce congestion)
