Thank you for your feedback. The pedestrian recall mode is a temporary measure to address the spread of COVID-19, however is part of an ongoing process to improve our pedestrian signalization. As we phase out of pedestrian recall mode we will also move away from the previously seen dedicated crossing mode to pedestrian crossings activating concurrently with the parallel flow of traffic. We are hoping to begin deploying these improvements soon in the downtown and hospital districts, followed by the Whalley corridor and then extending to the rest of city. Adjusting the citywide signal plan requires significant time and fiscal allocation and we appreciate your patience and understanding during implementation.
