If you look closely, the rail corridor there actually has room for double tracks (and even has some remnants of old ones in spots). It's a question of removing the slow order given how close the roadways get; that likely won't come without removing the houses on one side of the street.
How much difference does the slow order actually make? The area is pretty close to Guelph station, so speeds wouldn’t be really high under any circumstances. The situation only exists east of Glasgow St. and involves level crossings at Glasgow and Dublin. The total length of the area is under 200m so I can’t see a slow order making much difference to overall time. I’d say re-instate the second track, improve the crossing protection and fences, and leave it at that.
