Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy Wells Makes Call for Nominations for Pedestrian Advisory Council

Today, Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy Wells put out a call to Ward 6 neighbors for nominations to the District’s new Pedestrian Advisory Council (PAC).

“Creating a livable, walkable community requires us to be proactive and thoughtful about increasing pedestrian safety and accessibility,” commented Wells.

Last year, Councilmember Wells introduced legislation creating the PAC – an advisory body modeled after the Bicycle Advisory Council. The PAC will serve as the advisory body to the Mayor, the Council of the District of Columbia, and District agencies on pedestrian safety issues for the city and make recommendations on policy and legislation. Each Councilmember will be allowed to nominate one member to the PAC.

The PAC will begin its work in the coming months and Councilmember Wells has put a call out to all neighbors interested in serving as the member representing Ward 6.

Nominations can be made through Councilmember Wells’ website (link: http://bit.ly/6Yz76z) and are due by 5:00 pm on February 12th. The Ward 6 PAC member will be selected from the nominations by Councilmember Wells.
