There are definite spacial usage issues with accomodating both trams and cycle lanes, but other countries show it can be done. That said, on some of the tightest city centre streets it might not be possible.

With the city's ambitions to significantly lower the presence of vehicle traffic though, not to mention the car-free zone in the absolute middle of the centre, the likelihood is that most city centre streets should soon be much more hospitable to bikes than they are currently. So while some streets really do need separated lanes, especially those which are segments of cross-city cycling corridors, you should be able to get away with not having them on every single street. Leaving room for other uses: be it parklets, bus lanes, tram lanes, etc.
