Terry Bellamy, who was deputy director of operations for the District Department of Transportation, will serve as interim director while Mayor Vincent C. Gray searches for a replacement for Gabe Klein.
According to his DDOT biography, Bellamy served in Arlington's transportation department before joining the D.C. government and has more than 27 years of experience in transportation.

Sounds like Bellamy should have been Director and Klein the Deputy. That had to be odd with a food cart vender telling a 27 year transportation veteran how to do, well, "transportation". I'd put money that, as Depty. Director, Bellamy, behind the scenes is who was running the DOT anyway.
Good pick by Gray. Lets hope the selectee of the position has equal experience and credentials. Better yet, maybe look at Bellamy to continue on as acting. Is he a Ward 5, 7 or 8 resident?
