city staff say these things are supposed to recognize a cyclist is there and speed up the light sequence. Based on my experience as driver, cyclist and pedestrian, these signals are on a timed sequence and always stay red for the same amount of time.

Again I'll defer to Vancouver. Cyclists stop on these sensors and it "triggers a signal change"

that's how they are supposed to work.

And back to crosswalks, even Toronto has been doing this properly for my entire life. You push the button at a PXO and it immediately activates.
We either want to become a safe walking city, or we don't IMO. Places like TO and Vancouver get it, and have for decades.

I've never once had to wait 5 seconds, let alone 25 seconds at a PXO in Toronto.
