Another Metrolinx detour Eagerly awaited light rail transit decision delayed again February 19, 2010 Meredith Macleod The Hamilton Spectator http://www.thespec.com/News/Local/article/724399 This day had been anticipated for a long time. After months of delays and years of hope...

Over at SSP Bob Bratina is a forum member and posted that he would be against the stadium site on Family Day. We didn't treat him nicely haha. He's mostly concered with parking and the potential cost of brownfield cleanup, the entire land used to be covered with factories. He wants the...

City picks west harbour site for Pan Am stadium February 18, 2010 Emma Reilly The Hamilton Spectator http://www.thespec.com/News/Local/article/723814 The city has approved the West Harbour as the future site of the Pan Am Games stadium. The motion passed 10-5 with Councillors Bob...

He's not an effective mayor, he doesn't have any allies in council. Got so bad he demoted himself as chair of council. Now the chair is a rotated job with councillors. All have voted down his pilot projects, voted against rebuilding City Hall, single supporter of the enclosed forecourt proposal...

The EA won't be completed until after the election so obviously the Mayor has to stay in the middle ground until after the EA is complete for the B-Line. Plus Mayor Fred will have a tough re-election. I think he might be a one term Mayor.

Here's a quote I got from Hamilton's stadium "Games Opening Ceremonies in Toronto and then Pan Am flame relocates to Hamilton Stadium for the duration of the Pan Am Games" So the flame will actually be in Hamilton and in Toronto for one day at Rogers Centre.

Report: Get on board light rail February 13, 2010 Meredith Macleod The Hamilton Spectator http://www.thespec.com/News/Local/article/721381 A light rail line stretching across the city would cut the cost of commuting by $852 million, according to a much-anticipated Metrolinx report...

Construction starts next year... "The construction period is assumed to be the same for all three options with start in 2011 and completion by 2014 for opening of service in 2015."

"Overall, the results indicate that an investment in LRT in Hamilton will generate significant benefits and support the City’s broader objectives to revitalize, redevelop and reshape its most significant east-west corridor. While the lowest cost option, Option 1, produces the highest...

Here's the report http://www.metrolinx.com/Docs/Agendas/Feb19_10/Hamilton_BCA_FNL_DRAFT.pdf

The city's legal team has been negotiating with CN for years to relocate the yard. There was hope to relocate it to Aldershot but that didn't turn out well. There's hope to relocate the rail yard to Centennial Parkway/QEW area, which has been highlighted as a potential GO layover facility.

Vancouver, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Hamilton are all slated to get a new stadium. Perhaps Halifax one day as well.

Seeing how the triple-bottom-line criteria of the BCA and the fact that Metrolinx has been working closely with city staff and is using the city's analyses as part of its own assessment, it seems highly likely that Metrolinx will recommend LRT as the superior overall technology for economic...

You've got it opposite. Rendering #1 will get built as funding already approved. Rendering #2 is what the City is working towards instead. $50 million private money to upgrade the stadium.

Obviously they'll close off the upper bowl for the USL. Basically what the Argos do with Skydome. He's part owner of the Carolina Railhawks. Red Hat, Inc has its corporate headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Bob Young already owns a USL franchise so it wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain a team.

The first rendering is what Hamilton will get with already approved funding. The second rendering is what the City wants to build, double the size of the stadium for the Ti-Cats. The City will need to get $50 million to do so. Bob Young, Ti-Cats owner, has already said he'll financially support...

Apparently the business case has been completed MONTHS ago. It was pushed around and delayed three times. The Feb 19th announcement won't include any funding arrangement.
