City manager Jeff Fielding confirmed to Calgary city councillors on Monday that transportation general manager Mac Logan had resigned, while remaining tight-lipped on the reasons for his departure.
Logan had been on leave for several weeks for a personal matter.
The news of his departure came on the same day councillors learned the city had been honoured with two awards; one from the Transportation Planning Council and another from the Transportation Association of Canada.
Fielding said he and Logan reached a mutual decision and that Logan would be replaced by Michael Thompson, who had been standing in as acting general manager while Logan was on leave.

“I trust he’ll do a more than adequate job,” Fielding said.
“More than adequate? He’s going to do a terrific job,” Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi replied playfully after Fielding announced the change in leadership.
