Any time I've talked to ION engineers, they've seemed pretty clear that signal priority designs for both the LRT and aBRT portions will be reactive, intended to give stable traffic patterns priority in all but the most dire of scheduling mishaps.
So what will likely happen is that all timing for corridors affected by these intersections will be maintained, and schedules will be based on aBRT and LRT fitting into the existing timelines at those intersections, and what existing timelines at other, affected intersections already are. It'd be nice if the smooth operation of both systems was prioritized, and the signals at their intersections and affected personal vehicle intersections were adjusted to work with it. It'd be nice.
