The section for Centre Street N at https://engage.calgary.ca/greenline suggests it will not be grade-separated.

The key change for Centre Street N include a surface alignment up the middle of Centre Street with a surface station south of 16 Avenue N.
I doubt there's enough space to go from surface to underpass if the station is anywhere close the 16th Ave. The old Option E which was very similar to this new alignment specifically had a tunnel and underground station under 16th Ave to avoid the problem.
