Removing bike lanes will not…

Removing bike lanes will not solve the congestion issue. With an ever growing population and a limited amount of road widths, we have figure out how to fit more people on the road not more cars.
You could limit the size of cars to sub compacts or smaller ( unless you are recognized delivery or a licensed trade) this is unlikely to happen quickly enough as fleet turnover is not instantaneous. You could encourage people to use smaller different modes of travel ( for those who can) this has been having a huge change along with safe bike lanes for people to use. You also have couple this with an even large investment in transit to increase the number of people you can easily use transit and so free up space on our finite roads for those that must use private vehicles.
All research shows that extra lanes have a very short term improvement after which it is as bad if not worse. This is a short sighted, short term proposal costing large amounts of money with no gain. Please invest such money and more into new transit and more bike lanes.
