If you doubled the traffic on Jasper, then it would start to take on Portage's character of a downtown stroad.

Trust me. I live in Edmonton.
Jasper is far more like Broadway than Portage. Jasper and Broadway are remarkably similar in the fact that they are both on the south Boundary of the CBD, divided road in downtown, and both span west into gentrification areas.
Portage is a major throughfare stretching from West of Winnipeg.
