Cynical view - Deaths are never a trigger to prioritize safety. Liability is. Ask the lawyers.

Deaths are a huge political liability even if they weren't a financial one, and would still effect change. I'm part of Transportation Alternatives, who has been advocating/lobbying/protesting very effectively for increased safety infrastructure in the wake of all these cyclist deaths. No financial liabilities involved.
