Just open it. In that picture I can't believe they actually need that many lanes. Lose one lane and build out the public space at the corners for street vendors or some outdoor space. And why not make it a pedestrian circus? You can give people slightly more time to cross and then give the road free to the cars to do their turns without worrying as much about potential pedestrians trying to rush the flashing light while they try to get through before the advanced signal.
