Edward Levy, P. Eng.

---

Ed Levy has worked as a transportation planner and advisor since graduating from the University of Toronto in 1957. He co-founded Barton-Aschman Canada Limited, the Canadian arm of a large U.S. consulting company, in 1973 which then became BA Consulting Group Limited. He served as President and then Chairman of the Board of Directors for more than 15 years.

In 1989, Ed was retained as an advisor to the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront, and in 1991 he was appointed by the Commission as Co-Director of a major study of options for the Gardiner Expressway-Lake Shore Boulevard waterfront transportation corridor. Later, he was retained by the Waterfront Revitalization Task Force to advise on general transportation matters. More recently, he has directed transportation planning studies for large scale international projects.

In late 1999 and early 2000, he was a member of an "expert panel" appointed by the City to advise its Planning Department in relation to the transportation component of the new Official Plan. Ed has since formally retired from BA Group, but continues to work with the firm as Senior Consultant. He also continues to participate actively on several Toronto Board of Trade committees dealing with transportation planning and development in the Greater Toronto Area, and is a member of the Board of Directors of a new Railway Museum and Railway Heritage Centre to be developed during the next few years at the John Street Roundhouse and Union Station.
