I count 5 on the far side of the building, and there may be more obstructed from that viewpoint.

according to the open house document completion of landscaping is still part of "Remaining work in 2022", let's hold off complaining until they are completed

^ I have this nagging fear that those thousands of orange pylons will never totally disappear from Eglinton.
Seriously, things are starting to come together.

According to Metrolinx, full-speed testing of Line 5 has been underway for a few months on the at-grade portion of the line.
Here is a video from July 4, showing an LRT stopped at an intersection for well over a minute. We don't actually see when it ends up leaving, nor if it accelerates quickly.
What we can see however is that whatever TSP has been implemented sucks.

The LRV is travelling in the "wrong" track for testing purposes (heading Westbound on the eastbound track).
I don't know if TSP has been implemented yet but I don't have much hope.

I noticed that too, and it could be what's causing the apparently dismal speed.
I am just going with the info I have though, that ML claims the line is testing at full speed.
I also agree re: TSP. There may be changes forthcoming. I want the operation of this line to be competent, but my hopes have faded.

Testing at full speed does not mean necessarily mean they are simulating regular service, until that happens then I would not jump to conclusions.

What the video suggests is that the service will run more slowly than it should, like the streetcar, regardless of whether the vehicle speed hits 60km/h in operation.
I am just as hopeful that on opening day, LRTs won't wait at traffic lights. But if I had money on it, I wouldn't bet that way.

How can the video suggest anything? They are testing trains still, the line isn't open. I certainly wouldn't expect TPS to even be active until the line is near operation.

It only suggests that, as of now, Line 5 is slowed significantly by traffic lights. Maybe it will improve, but we are getting close to the line's opening, so I am not sure how much longer they would wait to activate TSP. They would want the line to be tested with it active.

The video posted shows the test equipment stationary for an extended period of time. What evidence is there to suggest this means the service will run slower than it should? There are a million possible reasons why the rolling stock could be idling.
As for the actual signal priority, what I have heard is that a green light will only hold for the trains if that train is behind schedule. This doesn't seem like an optimal solution, but again this is not something that someone could figure out in any capacity from watching your linked video.
