As a Toronto driver, I hate gridlock. But bike lanes are NOT causing the problem. I don't want to sit in the traffic that the construction to remove bike lanes would cause. I don't want to have to drive comically slowly behind a cyclist when there isn't room to pass. I don't want more cars on the road, when people who used to cycle start driving, because they don't feel safe cycling without bike lanes. I don't want to struggle to find parking, because of those same new drivers needing somewhere to park.

There's plenty of evidence that bicycle lanes speed up traffic. Removing bike lanes isn't the solution, Doug. Leave municipal issues like this to the municipalities. This is absolutely not a provincial issue and spending provinvicial budget on this is a gross misuse of public funds.
