Having lived in the townhouse complex at Weber and Albert I know that I lot of people use the sidewalk to get to retail at Weber and Northfield. It would probably be pretty easy to make the residents more aware of the issue pretty quickly either door-to-door or via their condo associations.
I think that the proposal to remove the bike lane and just keep the sidewalk is a very good idea.
Having read the arguments/rationale and I still don't understand the reluctance to narrow to street. The AADT for Weber (between Parkside and Dutton) was 15,492 in 2015 which is less than other 2 lane streets in the region such as Queen St S at 18,235 in 2015 (between Courtland and Mitchell), which while busy, flows very well and at much more humane speeds.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
