Among the projects not funded was approx. $1.9 million for UP Brooklyn Yard entrance changes (to support Milwaukie Light Rail), and a $2.04 million loan for Lake Oswego Streetcar Preliminary Engineering/NEPA analysis.
There's a page on ODOT's site which details the applications/selection process:

Good. Nothing having anything to do with MLR should get any funding.
Hopefully the entire project will hit the breaks sooner rather than millions more later.
