It's unfortunately not possible to remove one or the other. Both streets have very different function, with Byron being a local street providing access to driveways and parking lots, along with other local streets, while Richmond acts as a crosstown street and main street (and not a stroad, which is nice). You see a lot of this in Europe, three roads with trees in between, with the centre road being an artery and the two streets on the periphery acting as slow local streets. I think this guy is an example:

The Byron/Richmond rebuild is quite good, but for sure it's not perfect, Woodroofe being one of the weaker points. Still a major improvement over what we had since the streetcars were taken out.
