Tina Ward Pugh is hard to miss. She's a brilliant presence, with her bright colored clothing and bracelets that jingle when she speaks. She's hard to miss, too, because she's been advocating for women in Louisville for decades now. A former social worker, District 9 Councilwoman, and Hillary Clinton campaigner, she now works for metro government's Office for Women. Councilman Coan talks with her about her new job, and how the Office will continue their mission of empowering women in our city.

55. That's the number Jeff Brown and his team at Public Works waits for. Every road in Louisville - all 4500 lane miles - is ranked from 0 to 100, in terms of quality and need for repair. Once a road reaches 55, it's in need of attention. Roads go through natural life cycles, so not all roads will be perfect at the time - but Jeff and his team strive to make sure all roads (and sidewalks, and bike lanes) are as close to cared for as possible. He and Councilman Coan talk through District 8 road projects, alleys, and of course, the ever-present debate on bettering public transportation.
