yes, as it has always been the bus lanes will be removed.
The dedicated bus lane to which you refer is more than just a bus lane as this sign indicates.

Are all the buses in bays? Or is spider making up whatever again? Having driven, cycled, walked, and used buses along Eglinton (mostly in the east) I don't recall them pulling over into bays, but I moved away from there a year ago, so I could be wrong. The transit stop that I first found on Google Maps (outside the Canadian Tire towards Birchmont) didn't appear to be a bay, but I'm not going to scroll all through Google Maps along Eglinton looking for bus shelters to see if my memory is correct or not.All the bus stops are in bays, stopped buses don't hold up traffic.

(Checked a couple others near Brentcliffe/Laird where Eglinton narrows and don't see bus bays there either.)
The HOV lanes on Eglinton are always busy, lots of cars and trucks entering and exiting the hundreds of driveways or preparing to make right turns. All legal uses of the lane. All the bus stops are in bays, stopped buses don't hold up traffic.
Loss of the HOV lane will have a large impact on traffic here because all of this non bus traffic will have to use lanes they don't use now.
Yonge & Eg is already one of the highest (if not the highest) pedestrian intersections in the city:

I'm surprised it's higher than Yonge & Bloor, or Yonge & Dundas.
This is because the counts were done at different times of the year so they're not really comparable. I'm suspecting Yonge/Dundas was done in the winter and Yonge/Eglinton was done in the summer.I'm surprised it's higher than Yonge & Bloor, or Yonge & Dundas.

They are very common. Most of the bus stops on this portion of Eglinton are at signalled intersections, not mid block.Still I don't know how common these are along Eglinton. Certainly not dedicated bus bays, as far as I can recall. I will say that despite the automobile friendly infrastructure here,
