Parts of the Bedford Highway are still two lanes, and they're two lanes because they abut private property or large rock faces. Widening the road by at least two more lanes wouldn't necessarily be a better, quicker, or easier project than commuter rail.
I do think reversing lanes can be useful in general though. They're already used in a few places around the city. They're only useful if you want the lane allocation to be dynamic. Some congested areas have a roughly equal amount of traffic going in either direction; I bet this will become even more common if the population of the urban core continues to rise.
