Providence / Photo » December 7, 2006State DOT director retiringPROVIDENCE -- The director of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation will retire this month after 36 years with the department. James R. Capaldi, the DOT's director since 2003, started as a summer intern in 1965, and went to work for the department full time in 1969. He had worked as chief design engineer, chief of construction operations and chief engineer before becoming director. “This year has been an outstanding one at RIDOT with the demolition of the old Jamestown Bridge, construction of the Iway and the floating of its signature bridge up Narragansett Bay, completing the Freight Rail Improvement Project, and making improvements to the Cliffwalk,” Capaldi said in a DOT press release. “I can’t think of a better capstone year than the one we all just experienced.” Governor Carcieri said, “Jim Capaldi has been an outstanding director. Rhode Island’s transportation system has never looked better. The roads are cleaner, better maintained, and the improvements continue every day.” Capaldi’s last day will be Dec. 22. A search for a new director will begin soon. Posted by Jack Perry CommentsDon Miller | December 7, 2006 12:11 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

It's time, after 36 years in one career people have a tendency to sometimes become to complacent in their positions within State Government which I think may be the case with Mr.Capaldi. It is good that he recognizes this and is doing something about it.
