I lived there from 2017-2022. I saw some of those upgrades, and I have been back a few times. As was mentioned with that map, is that some of those bike paths still aren't exactly safe with how close you are to traffic. Many of those are just cross streets with a bicycle painted on the ground.
Here's a map of proper bike lanes, and areas of high and low stress in the city. You can see there's still work to be done. Don't get me wrong, you can get around most places, but those high stress areas are hard to avoid sometimes.
Here's what some of those "paths" look like from that original map posted above.
And here is the street in question, for the proposed upgrade.
