Bellamy to run DDOT

Mayor Gray has selected Terry Bellamy, DDOT’s interim director, as its permanent head. Gabe Klein hired Bellamy from Arlington to be deputy director of operations. Klein tweeted that the pick was the “right choice.”

Klein told Adam Tuss, “I was the Michelle Rhee of transportation, and [Bellamy] balanced me out.” At the press conference, Gray said his top priorities for Bellamy are to complete the H Street streetcar/streetscape and 11th Street bridge projects.
