I get your distrust that such a vehicle capacity "trade-off" would really be implemented by the City. That's why I said "if I was in charge". I'm pretty sure the City as-a-whole isn't progressive enough to proposed a packaged project where a new road is added only on the condition of removing equivalent capacity elsewhere.
I wish they were though... because completing the cycling infrastructure (and transit infrastructure) along Heron, Bank, and St-Laurent is going to be very expensive (expropriation, reconstruction of retaining walls, etc...) if we can't repurpose vehicle lanes.
