I could get behind MPI money going into modernizing crosswalks and adding new lighting though, like they do it in BC.

Did some further digging and the ICBC Road Improvement Program does include road repairs and general maintenance. The City of Richmond, for example, received ICBC funding in 2021 for the re-striping of lane lines.
ICBC funded road repair projects have included road surface repairs, resurfacing, shoulder improvements, drainage systems repair/replacement, and replacement of concrete road panels with asphalt.
