Not sure why the change in styles but here is a link to what the new ones will look like

The already have two that I know of in service at Donald and Graham replacing the black decorative ones that were put in when the Bus Mall started.
I've travelled Western Canada and Ontario for years. These kind of 90 degree angle traffic light configurations have been replacing the curved ones for years. I actually like Winnipeg's style (which used to be the norm in Vancouver as well) as it was unique to us for the last few decades. I guess that is all going to gradually change now. Too bad.
