Baltimore traffic official under investigation for conduct

BALTIMORE (AP) - A top Baltimore traffic official is accused of unspecified inappropriate conduct.

The city’s transportation department confirmed to The Baltimore Sun that 15 employees signed a formal complaint about Graham Young, triggering an investigation. As deputy chief of traffic, Young oversaw the department’s second-largest division, which includes traffic engineering, road closures and traffic lights.

The complaint is addressed to Transportation Director Michelle Pourciau and threatens a lawsuit if the complaint is not addressed.

The department’s chief of staff, Eboni Wimbush, declined to provide details about the allegations, calling them a personnel matter.

Young declined to comment to the newspaper.

Mayor Catherine Pugh’s spokesman Greg Tucker says Young has been removed from a management capacity pending the outcome of the resolution.
