In Lakeland, FL, all Downtown signalized intersections feature a delayed green to allow for pedestrian to use the crosswalk. You'll see the WALK icon appear a couple seconds before the light turns green to give pedestrians a head start.
Any places else that feature this setup at intersections?
All over Seattle, and now in many suburbs as well. It's a welcome change and even helps drivers due to the rash of red-light-runners who would otherwise hit the first wave to go on a green (since no one thinks to look around these days).
There is an intersection in downtown Dallas in the Arts District at Ross/Leonard that has this. One side of Ross there is where a few of the Arts District venues are, while the other side has a surface parking lot. I there's at least 1 other example in Dallas, but I can't remember where.
I know of intersections which have a dedicated pedestrian phase, but not a leading walk signal.
A Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI...what it's officially called) is fairly common now in many cities.
Most of the locations that have ped signals here in Vermont, on the other hand, typically have a dedicated pedestrian phase.
Charlotte, NC does this in the Uptown area. Can't recall off the top of my head if they do it in other neighborhoods.
Boston MA has some, Cambridge next door has tons of them.

Boston may have one at Lomasney/Causeway or Staniford/Merrimac, IIRC now. Just walked through there this past May.
I've seen intersections in DC at which the pedestrian light comes on maybe three or four seconds prior to the green light. I couldn't give you a full list off the top of my head, but I know 10th & H NW is one of them.
I feel like I've seen this at a few intersections in Lower Manhattan as well, but I'm not sure which ones.
There are a couple in Chicago, most of the ones I've noticed have been on my walking commutes around the West Loop/Fulton Market locales
There are, or at least were, some in downtown Huntsville, AL.
I also recall seeing some in downtown Milwaukee or around that area.
These are common in parts of Pittsburgh, such as the Oakland neighborhood near the University of Pittsburgh. I prefer this setup to having a dedicated pedestrian phase. It gives peds a couple seconds to get established in the intersection without the delays associated with a ped-only phase.
Seen this all over California.
Tampa and Gainesville, FL have a bunch at the major intersections.
Milwaukee has a few in the downtown area floating around, although the head start isn't much longer than a couple seconds. Jefferson and Wisconsin comes to mind as an example.
