Ah, I found the CityLink Cycleway feedback source. It wasn't an article, it was mentioned in a Brisbane City Council meeting YouTube link with timestamp (roughly 1:32:00). Businesses on the relevant streets in the Brisbane CBD estimated 43% of their customers arrived by car, when it was actually only 19%.

Council meeting minutes (warning, Microsoft Office Online link) has slightly different figures of 44% and 19%, respectively.

Incidentally, then-Councillor Sriranganathan's speech immediately after Cr Murphy shares his figures gives a pretty good explanation of some of the reasons I described the CityLink Cycleway as "mediocre".
