The transit upgrades that this money could fund aren't currently funded, and are desperately needed. What RouteAhead envisions for transit in the next thirty years costs a lot of money, that we don't know where it will come from. Here is a start to get nearly all of the smaller projects funded, so that when big chunks of money come in, it all can go to the bigger projects.
Plus, with the city's growth, what RouteAhead envisions for the next 30 years should be a bare minimum of what gets done. If all we get done is what is listed on RouteAhead, for a city of 2+ million people, we might be just as far behind on transit infrastucture as we are now.
