I think keeping it at 2 lanes in both directions (4 total) without regular parking is a bad idea.
Plenty of pedestrian friendly streets in other Canadian cities that have popular main streets with lots of pedestrian traffic, restaurants and cafes with patios, have parallel parking spots as a buffer between the sidewalk and pedestrians, Also, parked cars slow down traffic (which you want) as you have to drive more carefully in case someone opens their doors or comes walking out between cars.
I would have preferred they kept the parking and reduced traffic to 1 lane each way IMHO.
