The council has spoken. I think that the Perimeter road now needs to be resurrected.It will give the WH stadium the access by car it needs as well as a FINISHED Hamilton ring road . Let us not forget that there would be major costs to put in and outbound ramps for the EM off of the Linc/Red Hill expressways.I think this money could be better spent on the Perimeter Road, giving Hamilton a new access to downtown from the 403. If downtown can supply the parking for 18,000 fans for Springsteen or Elton John at COPPS, why can't the same parking options handle 25 - 30,000 crowds for CFL football, two city blocks away.If parking fees are needed by the Cats as a revenue stream, perhaps the city can turn over some or all of the proceeds from their owned lots on game day.Also there will be GO train and LRT options that will allow fans to come in from remote parking lots. A much better option than sitting traffic to and from wither a WH or EM stadium.I am sure a Ticat surcharge could be arranged.
Vision is requied here.
