I fully agree, the area around Fennel and West 5th has always lacked proper sidewalks, and frankly it's ridiculous. Every road in Hamilton apart from the 403, the Linc, the Red Hill and Burlington Street should have proper sidewalks.

There should be a sidewalk running all the way from Governor's Blvd linking up to both the Clairmont Dr. sidewalk and the nearby Bruce Trail access. There should also be continuous sidewalks on both sides of Fennel between Garth St and Upper James as well as the Hillfield side of Garth St.

Another area is higher up on West 5th after your pass the Linc, part of the sidewalk is decaying blacktop and further up in turns into Gravel shoulder. I just don't understand why the city has refused to address these issues for so long. How do they ever expect to develop the empty field that's there if they won't put in a proper sidewalk? It's not like putting in new sidewalks is going to break the budget and it's going to create at least a couple of extra construction jobs for the city.

Still waiting for the Randle Reef mess to get cleaned up, but hopefully not much longer!
