I have serious questions and concerns about the proposed removal of bike lanes. I've attached an article that goes dispells and unpacks some of the assumed improvements of increased motor traffic lanes better than I can. What I do want to note as someone who both cycles and drives in Toronto is that these bike lanes are imperative for the safety of cyclists. I have been car doored and seriously injured having been forced to cycle in significant areas without dedicated lanes because of careless drivers. The removal of bike lanes in addition to likely not improving traffic and wasting funds that could go into social or other economic programs also makes the city less safer to cyclists.
