Any details available about the smart signals? I assume these can respond to changing demand in real time? Would be nice to have these installed for all major road reconstructions going forward.

Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS)​

SCATS is an adaptive traffic control system that determines its traffic timing plans based on real-time information received from vehicle detectors located on the approaches to signalized intersections. SCATS relies on wireless communication to maintain signal coordination and uses an algorithm to determine and implement the best signal timings in real time. SCATS signals are sometimes referred to as “smart” signals.

Thank you for the post!

From the above:

there are currently large gaps between signalized intersection crossings,
with the largest being a 350 metre gap between Churchill Avenue/Church
Avenue and Kempford Boulevard to the north, and a 500 metre gap between
Churchill Avenue/Church Avenue and Park Home Avenue/Empress Avenue. To
reduce these gaps, it is recommended to signalize the intersections of Yonge
Street at Horsham Avenue/Northtown Avenue and at Ellerslie Avenue, effectively
cutting each gap by half. This will improve pedestrian access and safety across
Yonge.

Bike lanes should be wider for bi-directional traffic on both sides.

This one shows up with a large unfunded component while still being penciled in as a 2027 start (if money can be found)

This is outside North York, but I wasn't sure where else to put this. From Keith Irish in Markham:
