What could have been done is to require bike/ped access to bridges rebuilt with federal stimulus money. That could include those primarily occupied by interstates.

Yay! In fairness to Mary Peters, she was willing to hand us (initially) $500 million for implementing congestion pricing. In the best of all possible words, there would be a TV reporter on Sheldon Silver's doorstep every morning shoving a microphone in his face and reminding him of this. "...and walk-friendly..." Yay!
