As a driver in Toronto the biggest impediment to driving in the city is illegal parking and construction, not bike lanes, plus a serious lack of transit. If bike lanes were removed they would simply be replaced by parked cars which wouldn't solve the problem. I'm seeing a lot of bikers using these lanes and more will come as they are established, reducing the number of cars on the road. They also seem to work as giant traffic calmers, so surprisingly protect pedestrians as well. I am in favour of leaving the bike lanes in place and putting that money towards transit so that I can leave my car at home.
