Those of us who voted for pricing and those of us who voted against it still owe our constituents a plan that brings traffic relief and funds transit expansion.

I still think congestion pricing is that plan. But pricing or no, we need to move forward and make good on the promises and expectations raised during the past year's debate. The Bronx and New York City deserve nothing less.

Reading words like that from an elected official bolsters Janette Sadik-Khan's assertion that "the terrain has fundamentally changed" when it comes to transportation issues. But as measures like bus lane enforcement cameras come up for debate in Albany, will the wishes of city lawmakers like Rivera sway obstructionists in the Assembly?
