Hamilton, when?

Council voted for more cargo bike racks. Seven months later, the city has only built one. A Toronto bike shop owner said the lack of cargo bike parking is a ‘constant obstacle’ to more people purchasing the family-friendly rigs

Yeah when I heard the Alto contract was basically a single thing for everything my stomach sank. Even Mx mostly learned thats a bad idea.

They are still doing deficiencies/repairs. Not sure why the contract didn't have a clause for opening the cycle tracks earlier given the roads and sidewalks are.

Ask your trustee, it's their job to liaise between you and the school board.

All these things are required with increased population regardless of where it goes and are part of the planning process, so I don't really understand your point here.

I went to school in the 90s in portables in a very not dense suburb, the failing of the boards to adequately plan is not tied to density really. The population is coming no matter where we build for them, meaning school capacity is an issue outside this discussion.

I am a parent of 2 kids in the Hamilton school board. The city can't give up on densification because we think expanding the school system inside the existing urban area is too hard. We build new schools in greenfields, we can build more in existing areas, this isn't rocket science.

I am fearful the more obvious nimby block of council will vote with him on this and seriously set back ADU viability.

These corners seem much too large, especially as the adjoining street is two lanes (increasing any effective turn radius). We also need a big push for raised crossings, and ones sharp enough to actually slow people down!

Minimum road widths and minimum corner radii designed for overly large service vehicles among them!

What is alarming about this case is that the cyclist was afforded with what is a very up to date provincial standard. We have a long way to go before our infrastructure is safe and there are many factors impeding it.

We took our kids this summer and it surprised closed a month or so later. Grateful they got to see it but yeah it's hard to explain to them why it's closed now.

That sounds like the city needs a serious road safety program

I see it more as an insane symptom of car centric development. People defend suburbs as good neighborhoods but then seemingly through these admit that they aren't actually safe or enjoyable.

This one I love!

Be nice if it was more than just turf grass, but the trees will be a welcome addition!
