The issue will be that for left turns, there will be a temptation to treat a center-running, bi-directional track as a place to wait for opposing traffic to clear. Drivers will have a green light to go left, but will pull out from the turning lane, and will straddle the tracks.

We already allow (by convention, not law) several cars to sit in an intersection waiting to turn left.
I doubt there will be any left turns allowed across the centre ROW that are not fully protected with a left turn arrow. There will not be any need to wait in the intersection. The LRT will have a red, and the left turning cars will have an advance green.
