A newbie to the group here, but I wanted to say this is a great topic. 
Right now is a catch-22 with the funds tight everywhere, cities are less 
willing to spend money on things like bike infrastructure which they 
consider frivolous right now even though it is a good financial decision in 
the long run. It irks me to know end when I see the wasted funds on road 
repair over and over again without a moments thought to how cheap and easy 
adding some bike infrastructure would be along with it.

As for the plan, I think focus on the economic benefits, as that is where 
people are feeling the pinch and that is where they are looking for relief.
