Oh well I am going to pat my comments about the RHVP section anyway even though it has nothing to be with Sam what ever.
Anyway Like some have said the valley and surrounding neighbourhoods didn't flood because of the Redhill. More would hae to do with the developments on the escarpment(pre Redhill days) ie upper kenilworth over to upper james. basically the whole wast mountian of old hamilton. 90% of the water flows through a series of storm sewers which empty into once massive one which surfaces into a stream being the old Ottawa St Dump just to the north west of it. If you look on Google Earth you can find it. According to once website its the largest storm drain in Canada (build pre RHVP) Also a large majority of the develpoments build since the RHVP have storm water retention ponds with them these are there to hold the water back from just rushing through the system. Unfortunatly they didn't start building these until the 1990s. Anyway there is some more information for you guys to chew on. Oh and this bs about it happening everytime we get a thunderstorm get real. we won't be seeing that type of rain every time it rains. with or without the highway the valley would have flooded. If this amount of rain had fallen over the Spencer creek watershed, dundas would hae probably flooded too without a highway being there.
One last thing liek i said in my letter to the spec editor. If the resident of Hamilton didn't spend 40+ years fighting over the red hill maybe the money saved would have been put towards fixing the infrstructure.
Anyway continue complaing about everything that you people on the website complain about. I used to think that site was for positive things about the city but all you guys seem to do is complain.
