Even without doing that...putting bumpouts at every intersection where the sidewalks push further out into the road in effect recessing the parallel parking lane(s) has proven to be very effective at narrowing the roadway psychologically.

Agreed on both. The intersection at 3rd/Callowhill needs a complete rework. There is no reason that both of the roads into this intersection on the east side need to be 3 lanes (essentially 6 lane highway + a parking lane).
Honestly, a lot of the issues with Callowhill traffic starts with this intersection. Cut a lane from each, continue the median on the opposite side of the intersection instead of the existing painted median, and add bumpouts and you'd probably see reduced speeds on this whole section of Callowhill.
