Forte Leaves Escambia County’s Transportation And Traffic Boss, Joins The City of Pensacola
March 10, 2020
Escambia County’s former traffic and transportation manager has gone to work for the City of Pensacola.
Pensacola has hired David Forte to a fill the new position of capital improvement projects manager, responsible for managing and facilitating a variety of construction and capital projects in the city. Forte’s first day with the city was Monday.
Forte was mostly recently Escambia County’s Transportation and Traffic Operations division manager. He also previously served as transportation program manager, development program manager and urban planner for Escambia County.
As the city’s capital improvement projects manager, Forte’s responsibilities will include planning and coordinating activities to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget, along with ensuring the projects are of the highest quality within the available resources. Forte will also support community engagement efforts for major projects and act as a liaison with federal, state, local and other governmental agencies.
Forte is just one of the Escambia County employees that have gone for work for the City of Pensacola. Interim Escambia County Administrator Matt Coughlin left the county to become deputy director of the Pensacola International Airport. Former interim Escambia County Administrator Amy Lovoy resigned before becoming Pensacola’s finance director, and Escambia County Senior Community and Media Relations Specialist Kaycee Lagarde was named the public information officer for the City of Pensacola.

I’m with you oversight.
I endure his legacy; each time I attempt to enter highway 29 from Neal Road, traffic doing 70 mph over a blind hill. The Dollar General on the intersection is sauce for the goose.
I go to vote today, lets see who is up for renewal or dismissal?
Wow, I didn’t even realize the county had a traffic boss. I need to do some research and see what responsibilities this position has. Seems like traffic flow is an area where our county needs lots of improvement.

He was actually pretty good at his job. Probably does not mention what he was good about at county because that’s not the topic of the story. He was one of the ones that left the county because of the mess it is in. The county’s loss, the city’s gain.
Without seeing any positive change in the Escambia County traffic, county residents can now say that this is not a loss. In other words, what good is having a position if there is no effort to improve the product. Notice how the article doesn’t mention one accomplishment or improvement for the county. Bye, Felicia.
