You all know my feeling: traffic deaths are more a function of selfish culture than infrastructure, and until we address culture, targeting infrastructure is like trying to empty a bathtub with a thimble. Indeed, Vision Zero seems to be a miserable failure.
Instead, how much culture change could we get for $23M? e.g.:
* increased driver training requirements * Harder written and road tests for licensing* Actual punitive measures for speeding, red light running, DWI, hit and run, killing other road users* Signs and billboards
What else?

I'd suggest a grant program to supply bicycles, even electric assist bicycles, for residents to use for transportation--with grants conditioned on training in safe riding practices and documenting regular actual use.
Great idea!
Think how many "butts on bikes" could be gained for $500 each average for bike/training/admin. with only $1 million. What does a mile of "protected" bike lane cost and how many new riders would it likely create and over what area of the city?
