They are installing "enhanced" PXOs with better flashing amber lights: they will continue to install PXOs on minor and collector roads, so Hamilton's position is not actually being followed by Toronto.

Most importantly, unlike Hamilton's decision over a decade ago, they are not simply removing the existing PXOs on arterial roads (and letting the lines fade), they are replacing them with full signals, or using brighter and larger amber lights.

From the report:

"Replacement of Pedestrian Crossovers ('PXOs') with traffic signals on major and minor arterial roads. To date, about one-third of the PXOs on major arterial roadways have been converted to fully signalized intersections and the rest enhanced with brighter lights and larger lenses to enhance visibility. On minor arterial roadways, almost 40 PXOs have been replaced with traffic control signals, and the remaining PXOs have also been enhanced. PXOs on collector and local roads are also being enhanced on a priority basis and all new PXO new installations are constructed to the new standard. "
