Wouldn't it have been much easier to just add a left turn arrow to the existing signal?
If you add the arrow, you either need to add a turn lane or split the phasing between the two approaches. That means that one approach gets a green ball and a green arrow until the light turns red. Then the opposing approach gets the same indicators. This just increases the overall cycle length, so traffic on the main line has to sit longer.

A source close to me informed me the light is going back up.

Better to sit longer at a light cycle than have an accident blocking traffic make you sit indefinitely
