Removing bike lanes will not…

Removing bike lanes will not reduce "gridlock traffic", it will do the very opposite.

Cyclists will continue to use the same roads on their commute with or without bikes lanes. Without bike lanes, cars and bikes will have to share a single lane in an unsafe and unpredictable manner. More stopping, more yielding, more hesitation...more traffic.

This will also lead to cyclists finding an alternate way to commute...more cars! More traffic. Not less.

Also...removing bike lanes doesn't provide an extra lane for cars. Bloor Street, as an example, is not wide enough. It will still be one lane of car traffic each way.
