I would just add to your 3rd recommendation (which I support): repeal no-new-bikeways-except-where-pavement-is-good. LADOT already breaks this law - or I should say selectively enforces this law mainly to shoot down bike safety projects

75% of this money goes back to LA Metro, 25% to LADOT - equating about ~ 1 million/mile for metro and ~350k/mile for LADOT. Imagine how much money the bus lanes from a full HLA buildout and Metro's countywide BRT program could bring in. (Nathan Fielder voice) Here's the plan:

Really the hold-up is LADOT—signal priority (maybe even closing off some of those minor streets that cross the line) would do wonders

We have tools to build a safer city for everyone. At today’s transportation committee meeting we’ll get an update on speed camera deployment, which can’t come soon enough.
Also on the agenda: look at this data for LA’s bus lane enforcement: $21 million (!) in revenue since launch

I assert that the project should have included about 1000 feet of a 2-way protected bikeway connecting the state park to the Metro Station - as the city plan states. But the LADOT design expects cyclists riding that 1000 ft to cross Spring Street twice.
