Agreed, not all benefits can be monetized, or shown on a balance sheet. The Improvements made on Kercheval are a prime example of that. This has been THE case that is always made against mass transit. "It doesn't pay for itself so I don't want it".
Those new bike lanes, medians, and bus shelters generate $0 in revenue themselves, but if having them helps convince a couple people to buy a home or start a business in the neighborhood, then they've more than paid for themselves.
I see a lot on here that will greatly improve quality of life, increase property values, and attract new residents. Three things that NEED to be top priority with this cash.
