Actually, that isn't entirely true, while the city is paying for some (most) of the downtown grid, the region is expected to reconstruct several roads, such as Benton and Frederick which would come out of the region's budget.
The region still does still build cycling infra. Even if it didn't though, it will play into people's perceptions.
Yes, I did mention "the few regional roads" above. They don't amount to much of a grid in themselves, in my opinion. And, in any case, they are still planned to be rebuilt, even if this bridge is going ahead.
