What are they going to do when the suggestions are to do something other than rip out bike lanes and add more car lanes?

The City itself is pro bike. It's the province (DoFo) that's anti bike and wants to tear out the bike lanes. The City may be considering congestion pricing, which is when cars driving on busy streets or in certain areas are charged a road usage fee ($5, $10, etc) via cameras that snap license plates. This has existed in London for 20 years and NYC implemented it recently
