I don't think 16th Avenue would have crossing arms. Wouldn't a low-floor LRT just use signals like other vehicles? Obviously it would get a transit priority signal, but it's just a signal.
Looking at other low-floor LRTs out there, I can't say this looks any worse than how ugly Centre Street already is. It certainly isn't going to "destroy" Centre Street like the existing higher LRTs would have done.
