It seems like this could work if done on secondary streets. Ie., a street that parallels a main thoroughfare like Pepperell/Quinpool, Isleville/Argicola, Creighton/Gottingen. These are often neighbourhood streets where the residents regularly complain about fast short-cutting drivers and lack of on street parking, and ask for (and are turned down by council) various forms of street calming measures. This was just in the news with Creighton Street.

The trade off would be accepting their streets as one-way, but it could be their solution to traffic calming, lots of parking and a safe bike network.
