Improve the aesthetics of the traffic light ?????

I am product designer and also a avid cyclist. I think I would like to be first, safe on the road thank you. Traffic light beautiful or not... while is important... but please keep us cyclist and road users safe first!  I read.. "The redesign will cost LTA at least $70 000"... could this money be used in more pressing issues?
