I fully agree in practice, but West is probably too busy for that, I think it would be categorized as a neighbourhood collector, but I haven't checked. During morning rush, it carries a non-trivial amount of traffic. In my opinion, volume wise, you probably could do what you suggest, but it's probably not the place to start.
Ironically, where I grew up there was a one lane bridge on a major road, that was considered a deficiency and tens of millions were spent to expand it.
