Still ongoing it seems... the project webpage states that the project is scheduled to run from 2019 to 2027, and that timeline was before the pandemic, so I wouldn't be surprised if the completion date is pushed back a bit, given that so many other projects in the city have been pushed back since then.

As I understand it, the city has to upgrade each and every single older traffic signal along the roads that are part of this "intelligent traffic signal" network, so I can see how this may take a little bit of time. I believe the "Transportation Management Centre" that the project page speaks of was constructed a few years ago in Byron.
But yes I agree that better traffic signal synchronization would be awesome. I've probably told this story here before lol, but once I was driving along Fanshawe Park Road from Hyde Park to my home near Highbury on a Sunday morning, and with the exception of one light, I hit every single red light along the way.
