I don’t think wider bars are the answer. I’d look into bike fit a bit more. You may need a longer stem.
Personally I’d raise the levers so they run into a flat transition with the top of the bars and lower the stem if you find you’re riding in the drops for your whole commute. You can ride on the hoods of the levers then and that personally feels much more controllable in traffic for me.
