European-style mini-roundabouts (without a huge centre island) certainly would fit. Whether it would be a good idea or not is another thing.
I'm quite familiar with mini-roundabouts, (and one of my pet ideas is to do one at Queen/Courtland,) but I have trouble seeing how to do a 2-lane one in a tight space.
I also agree that roundabouts are not inherently cyclonic pedestrian crushers. It's an issue of design speeds, and drivers that are not trained to yield at pedestrian crosswalks (because there are so few out there that are not associated with stop signs or traffic lights).
