Right now they have 1 turn lane and 2 travel lanes in all directions, but due to the fact that the right-most lane is usually blocked by a right-turning vehicle waiting for pedestrians, it's effectively 2 turn lanes with 1 travel lane in all directions. They could reconfigure the timing to scramble-cars-scramble-cars etc., maintaining the status quo for pedestrians and significantly improving the situation for cars, or they could reconfigure the timing as well as the intersection itself to 2 through lanes in all directions, leaving the car situation not much different than present (as the right-lane should remain almost free-flowing while the left-lane is blocked by turning traffic waiting for a clear spot) but the pedestrian realm significantly improved due to a smaller crossing and wider sidewalks in the area.
