It was almost certainly a case of turning a two-way residential street to a four lane one-way, rather than the other way around.FWIW the conversion to one-way occurred in the early 1970s. I still remember it, especially the Sunday (IIRC) morning when the switch took place. Despite lots of publicity and ample signage I recall seeing a driver turn west onto Erb from Weber only to be greeted by a phalanx of drivers coming at him from Uptown.
