Is the long-term intention to open it up to be a dual lane turn? The 2nd turn lane has been there for years, but is barricaded off.
Wouldn't it be pretty simple to move the barricades and put up a new sign showing two lanes turning in?
I can't get a great angle of it on google maps, but here you can see the barricade and the turn lane.

This is what I gather:
This intersection is currently being rebuilt by the area developer so the traffic signal is being modified based on the roadway changes. At this time there is no plans to install dual northbound to westbound left turns. Dual northbound and southbound left turns cannot physically operate at the same without the turning paths overlapping so it was decided that only southbound to eastbound would be constructed as a dual turn. Once the construction is complete the traffic patterns will be observed and the traffic signal timings will be adjusted to optimize the traffic flow through this intersection.
