My gripe with that intersection is that traffic really backs up on Morse during busy times and isn't cleared by the light cycling. Agree that there should be long, dedicated right turn lanes with right turn on red allowed at all times.
The right turn on RED will probably be a bigger problem as there will be people that will not judge the speed of the oncoming traffic correctly. If this really a problem (I have not experienced it) then I would suggest 2 right hand turning lanes with NO right turn on RED.
