Adam Giambrone
In office since 2003, this Robin to David Miller’s Batman is already managing the toughest file next to the Police Services Board: heading the cash-starved TTC. If anyone’s got the moxie to liberate the city from its contract with Daimler and those hybrid bus lemons, it’s this 30-something bike-riding, overachieving archaeologist with a public transit passion. Besides shepherding the spine-tingling Transit City light rail plan, Giambrone protects his Davenport home turf, steering the Lansdowne bike lane through a swamp of controversy and championing Sterling Road live-work tenants trying to protect their space from a 48 Abell-type fiasco.
