With the filing deadline for the mayor’s race approaching, a few more candidates are expected to enter. One late-filing candidate is likely to be bicycle advocate Jackie Green, who plans to run as an independent. Co-owner of Bike Couriers Bike Shop, Green says transportation will be a focus of his candidacy because it stands at the forefront of Louisville’s future.
“Transportation is more automotive infrastructure than ever, so yes, that’s a step backwards,” Green says. “We need a great public transit system. We have a decent one at rush hour right now. Outside of rush hour, it is a very poor system, and that is a must for our city to be great.” Green says independent candidates will bring alternative ideas that mainstream candidates ignore. He’s hopeful that the media will give him and fellow independent mayoral candidate Nimbus Couzin, owner of the Highlands coffee shop Ray’s Monkey House, an equal platform during the campaign. |
