I sometimes think the 504 should have been part of the Canary District build. It might have made more sense for it to veer south at Sumach, run along Front (via a new bridge over the Don), touch East Harbour on the east side, then head north on Broadview. That would leave a short stretch of King without the 504, but it would still be served by the 503. This approach could have eased the interlining bottleneck at Queen/Broadview while effectively linking the 504 with the future Broadview line.

An alternative I thought up a while ago, but would require quite intelligent smart traffic lights, is a form of TSP where if a streetcar is behind left turning cars, to give the cars an advanced left to clear out of the way of the streetcar. And the advanced left would only be triggered by a streetcar near the intersection, to not slow down streetcars going the other direction unncessecarily. Basically the purpose of the advanced left would be only for the purpose of getting the left turning cars out of the path of a streetcar.

That's how the signal on Bathurst and Adelaide work on the north leg. The streetcar can extend the signal until the queue is cleared (up to a maximum)

Platform Edge Doors are the key move here. For Line 2, that will require ATC.

And many decades...I think we need better (realistic) short term solution if this continues to be a source of significant delay.

Bay station appears to be where spotted at track level, possibly for its' unique setup... Interesting they could not apprehend 3 people who went into the tunnels... Perhaps a start with better surveillance. No pictures of the suspects? Unlike suicide, I imagine trespassing to be less deterred by platform edge doors (at critical locations).
