Need flat handlebar advice

I have a new bike for the wife that we're turning into her get-around town bike. She can stand over it but it's a little long with dropbars. I'm thinking a flat bar conversion would be appropriate.

Bike in question:


So you can see what I'm working with. Canti brakes, ~100mm stem. What's the cheapest way to get what I'm after?

Can I find a flat bar that fits the quill stem, and then turn the brake levers sideways and use them?

Also, the schrader valves are the pits. How can I use presta valves with these wheels?
