The point is that the bike lane clearance would allow you to clean 1 boulevard in Silverado, which barely anyone uses anyway. The idea that prioritizing a transportation corridor downtown that gets used by people to get to work is taking away from clearing Glenmore, Crowchild or Macleod is absurd. It comes at the expense of clearing a community road that serves even less people from less parts of the city.
