Actually, it'll pay for itself, and probably won't take too long to do it. Sidewalks and bike lanes are a lot cheaper to maintain than car lanes: removing two lanes frees up maintenance funds on an ongoing basis.
I don't think a project like this should be assessed principally on costs, but if it were, reducing the traffic lanes would be a no-brainer.
