The only other possibility I can think of is Lacordiere, but that can't be it because it changes names about halfway down and turns into Dickson Street.

It's the only street I can think of that meets both Notre-Dame and Gouin and has traffic in both directions for its entire length. I’m going to have to say Pie IX.

Pie-IX doesn't intersect Gouin Blvd. All wrong so far:

Running both ways in parts would make it Saint Denis. If you're not too picky about the intersection on Notre Dame it would be Saint Hubert. If you want really and truly two ways AND really and truly intersecting both Gouin and Notre Dame it's Papineau. Howdy!
