Tavia Chow joins our team in Toronto

Steer Davies Gleave is delighted to welcome one of the latest additions to our Toronto office, Tavia Chow.

Tavia brings 7 years of experience in a consulting environment, providing transportation planning and traffic engineering services to both public and private clients. She brings strong skills in GIS, project coordination, pedestrian modeling, environmental assessments, traffic operation analysis and road safety reviews. Tavia has extensive knowledge in traffic operational and safety assessments for Environmental Assessments (including transportation and transit master plans) for preliminary and detailed design projects. She has also conducted operational safety review and evaluation of design alternatives (benefit-cost analysis) for a number of provincial highway design and rehabilitation projects.

In her career, Tavia has shown excellent knowledge and technical ability to carry out planning policy review, multi-modal assessment, land use planning analysis, transit technology assessment, and traffic and safety review. Her previous work experience includes the coordination and transportation planning of the Queen Street Corridor Rapid Transit Master Plan in Brampton, which also studied the Downtown Mobility Hub as part of a scope extension, the Bike Parking Asset Inventory for the City of Toronto and the North and South Crosstown BRTs Study for the City of Calgary.

Tavia joins us from HDR, where she was a Transportation Planner focused on transit master planning, GIS analysis for a variety of project types, safety studies, and lead modeler for pedestrian simulations.

Tavia will work closely with Harold Sich, Associate in the Toronto office. “Tavia has quickly become a key member of Toronto’s planning and design team,” Harold said. “Not only is she supporting major multi-modal planning assignments and expanding our GIS analytical capabilities, Tavia is also showing leadership and personal growth in our design-related projects. Her expertise and teamwork is recognized, but her willingness to be to be part of the solution, particularly in our business development, will provide on-going Steer Davies Gleave benefits.”
