Trains, maybe. Bridge repairs, maybe. Highway updates, probably.
But the others, in the current (and last 20-40 year) political climate are a no go, I bet. Some will die because "green" is anathema to half the population. Others will die because they are not proper earmark-able vanity projects that you can stamp a rich person's name on (grid modernization, I'm looking at you).
Overall, and maybe I'm pessimistic, I would bet absolutely none of the things on your list will happen. I used to say that they wouldn't happen until something catastrophic occurred, but now that we're here, I don't buy that anymore.
They'll be called socialism, or a waste of time, or outright called lies from the left/right/wherever. But I am not, and may not be able to be convinced that the US can accomplish anything positive and productive, at all, for the foreseeable future.
