Consider using transit specific transit signals, that the rest of the world uses. Québec uses them with their BUSES.

Streetcar loops, caryards, and subway egress should display this sign on unsignalled intersections.

Another problem is that Toronto (and Ontario) did not implement the recommendations in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. In the convention, they give priority to street railways (trams, streetcars, and light rail).

There remains the old level crossing at Junction Road & Old Weston Road (upper part of the image). If they rebuild the Old Weston Road bridge (or go with an underpass), they should continue it past the level crossing.

Should rebuild with either an Old Weston overpass or underpass, along with a traffic circle at Dupont, Dundas, Annette, and Old Weston.

The Old Weston Road bridge, which used to span the CP Rail tracks north of Dupont Street, was closed in the early 1970s and demolished in 1983. It was part of the original routing of Weston Road before it was renamed and rerouted in 1948.

Ditto for Spadina and The Queensway. Low priority for transit.
Results in the slowest streetcar/tram network in the world.

The streetcar ridership would be higher if it wasn't because of the "slow orders", obsolete track switches, and MTO rules that favour the single-occupant automobile over the 200+ inside a streetcar.
Toronto is currently the SLOWEST streetcar/tram network in the world, because of that.

Those "consultants" are just one of the "soft costs" that add to the very high cost of transit projects in North America.
