Bio: Nancy Lyon-Stadler is the Traffic and Planning Practice Department Manager for Michael Baker Corporation’s Cleveland office. Her technical expertise incorporates a wide range of traffic engineering and transportation planning as well as project management. Nancy has a passion for livability, complete streets and active transportation projects. Her enthusiasm for these projects began when she lived and worked in Boulder, Colorado in the mid-90s. She especially enjoys contributing to the positive impact these projects have on communities. Effective public involvement is an integral part of Nancy’s projects work; she is always looking for new and innovative ways to engage communities and solicit feedback.

Education: Nancy holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Virginia Tech and a M.S. in Civil Engineering from the Ohio State University. Nancy is a registered professional engineer in Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina and South Carolina and she is a licensed Professional Traffic Operations Engineer.
