I think it would be a massive waste of time and resources with no gain.

The city needs more bike lanes not fewer. If we had a more substantial and fully interconnected bike infrastructure I'm sure even more people would bike which would in turn reduce congestion from getting even more people off the road while also encouraging better health and safer streets. Where do you think the bikers are gonna go when removing these bike lanes? On the street in front of the cars! Slowing everyone down and putting all the bikers in a significantly increased amount of danger from motorists.

With more car lanes come more motorists wanting to use said car lanes, therefore resulting in a non-scalable losing battle. Versus bike and transit infrastructure which both let many more people to get around and not bottleneck the city.

And if anything's really causing gridlock on these streets it would be the parked cars, not the bike lanes.
