Why do they feel the need to shrink a two lane road down to one lane and then back to two lanes?

I was told by the landscape designer for City Square that the whole Foster Street redesign was for the purpose of "traffic calming".

I never thought it needed to be calmer, but what do I know?

Narrowing a two lane down to one lane and then back to two lanes seems to be the opposite of 'calming.'
