A minimum grid in the central area (both sides of the river). Full stop. We don't need a cycling on 40th ave or the like, but these were supposedly "easy wins" as it was underused arterials with large ROWs. Does nothing to address the demand issues (read: use) of where people actually cycle. In my opinion, the low hanging fruit was not Saddleback Road and Millwoods Road, but 102 ave, 100 ave, etc. Even if that budget only got 6 blocks of one of those routes done.... it's a no brainer.
