Active Living’s 2011 Person of the Year: Tina Ward-Pugh, 9th District Councilwoman
A special thanks to Tina Ward-Pugh for being a strong leader for policies and improvements that make it easier to be active in Louisville. A champion for walkers, bicyclists and everything environmental, she most recently negotiated the installation of a new big rack on Frankfort Avenue, giving up one car parking space for up to 12 bike spaces outside of the Irish Rover.
In addition, she served as an inspiration on an Active Living Conference panel on advocacy and has been a tireless supporter of the Brownsboro Road Diet, slated to begin this spring. That project would narrow the road from four the three lanes from Ewing to Drescher Bridge Road so that a sidewalk can be added to the north side of the street. This is enormously important to Clifton and Clifton Heights, where a large number of blind people live. Support your 9th district council woman.
