SFR is far too wide and rather dangerous because of the types of driving it encourages. Rarely actually sees too much volume.
Somewhat similarly, Western Ave just shouldn't be used for through traffic. It's not wide enough to handle it and the road diet there will make the type of travel there that shouldn't happen anyways impossible.
So... what road does handle through traffic? Through traffic will happen. You can't road diet every road in the city, or you will get gridlock and unsafe conditions as more volume tries to handle the facility than it was designed for.
If this neighborhood were transit accessible? Diet away. But it isn't.
