What do people think of this?

apparently 913m quid is being invested and theres loads of talk of segregation, cycle super highways being improved, quietways, mini hollands, redesigning junctions etc etc that sound ok. I only skimmed it briefly but couldnt see any mention of cycle training...
All of this sounds nice but I wonder how they will achieve all this with 900million, not an enormous amount in the scheme of things ( I cant imagine you can redesign even half the junctions they say they will with that money...). Added to this is boris johnson and his almost complete lack interest in helping London cycling since he became Mayor. He cites 2 things that he has done to improve things in his term: Barclays Bikes and a massive increase in cyclists in London since he became mayor. Evn though I dislike the guy, both of those results were because of Ken livingston and had bugger all to do with Johnson.
Sign of hope or useless document to help pretend they are going to do something?
apologies if Repost etc
