Doesn’t have to be protected we barely have any pedestrian crossing signals, and non-protected is better than none if drivers can avoid hitting pedestrians without pedestrian crossing signals they can probably avoid hitting bikes too
The question was worded in such a way as to provoke creative and critical thinking about what a community could do with just $10,000. The amount is carefully selected because it’s way more achievable than collecting $100k from a community or a single family, or person. It was crafted to be thought provoking as to what would it take to imporve (____ insert answer___).
As for the discussion of bicycle road improvements, there is a fair amount you could do with just $10,000 as a starting point. Partnering with local bicycle shops to help sponsor a community/town/city ride event, a community safety event where you could do a drawing for new helmets, water bottle holders and bottles, etc. There are also options to host a race for a few or several age groups. Tiered prizes to be offered to the top three or five competitors.
In doing so, this could be a foundation for analyzing community interest, involvement, connection, and discussion as to how to better utilize or improve what they have to work with locally.

Bud, do a little bit or research a quick google search will reveal that single crosswalk costs 750-1000 USD.
People love to bitch about government costs, but that is because the government has to share the information.
Unless you live in a one stop light town 10K won’t get you anything.
Ok I am wrong and I will burn the money instead better?
Or … get a better understanding of how and what it takes to improve things.
The OP’s original question is wrong. 10k really wouldn’t improve a single family’s situation let alone anything that could be called a town/city.
