A cafe on the corner doesn't sound residential, but, rather, mixed use at best.
More to the point, everywhere that I've seen traffic "calmed," the issue appears to be that there are no roads nearby designed for throughput, or, if they are, they are patently inadequate.
The other difficulty is that past city planning doesn't always line up with current city behavior.

Residential streets are not designed for throughput. You make city-planning sound one-dimensional.
Maybe you don't have children.
