(WBBM NEWSRADIO) – Chicago Transportation Commissioner Gia Biagi has become the latest holdover from the Lightfoot administration to leave City Hall.

Biagi has given her two-week notice, just days after Chicago Housing Commissioner Marisa Novara exited.


It's not unusual for new mayors to clean house when it comes to department heads, but Mayor Brandon Johnson asked a number to stay on for a few months as he determined whether and how to change things.

Biagi has been known for bringing expanded and improved bike lanes to Chicago, as well as expanding rentals for bicycles and scooters. She helped create the permanent outdoor dining program for Chicago restaurants that began during the pandemic.

Biagi's office says she will pursue new opportunities.
