The south-running two-way approach worries me a bit since it means that turning movements have a lot of unexpected interactions with cyclists. Drivers turning have a very unexpected place to look for traffic.

If the city was willing to do some work on the concrete curbs of the turning-lanes/medians, I'd say a centre-aligned track would be the best approach. Most centre-aligned tracks suffer from not having a good refuge if the cyclist needs to stop, but in this case there's the massive parkette/median.

Locating the track on the North lanes of the Eastbound side would minimize confusing turning interactions - the only unexpected behaviour is that that left-turners would cross the track, and traffic signals can prevent that with a designated left-turn cycle. Specially controlled left-turns are already a thing.
