Speaking of traffic/congestion management, the City has hired its new Traffic Czar:

Toronto hires traffic ‘czar’ to reduce and manage notorious gridlock

Toronto’s new chief congestion officer is a position intended to improve how Toronto manages traffic amid dual pressures of population growth and development.

Andrew Posluns will formally take up the role January 5th (next Monday).

He was with the Canada Infrastructure Bank, but was previously a provincial director level executive at the MTO

And why stop there w/hiring news (in this case open position) David Stonehouse has retired from his role as Director of the City's Waterfront Secretariat.

David was a stalwart in that role for many years and was previously involved with getting Evergreen Brickworks off the ground.

@DSCToronto may have thoughts on who should fill those shoes.

That position is being actively filled; last I heard the Heads of Parks, Transportation Services and Bikeshare were all 'Acting' with no permanent replacement's tapped.

Better to get a Transit Czar. A Traffic Czar would look at vehicles, not people.

Oh well this is bound to be amusing.

Good thing congestion is only going to get even worse with Doug needlessly calling back provincial employees back into the office full-time.

But hey, it's great we are creating more useless jobs in the bureaucracy! I'd love to be proven wrong though, please Toronto feel free to show me that this will "streamline city bureaucracy".

All this will be about FIFA planning, and the plan will inevitably be to tell all the financial district companies and the Ontario government to have their employees work from home for two weeks.
