Atlanta has a new top transportation expert.

Solomon Caviness was recently named the commissioner of Atlanta Department of Transportation.

On Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Caviness said that Downtown Atlanta was not built on a grid system and is dealing with massive growth, with about a million of people coming in and out of the city daily — and somehow commuters are figuring out ways to navigate it.
