I think the IWS area's best hope is LRT and its associated TOD. That's a proven model.

I've said for the past several months now that if I was Bob Young, I would become Hamilton's LRT 'champion'. The proposed Scott Park stop is right at the stadium...and it would really go a long way to helping them soothe some of the blows they dealt to their young, urban fans....but their PR department is something akin to a government motor bureau office with how low they regard the public.

The Katz Group and AEG have shown interest in Copps Coliseum, the Hamilton Convention Centre, Hamilton Place and attendant parking.

And this could be the break Hamilton has waited for all these years to land in the 'big leagues' in the entertainment world instead of heavily subsidizing poorly-used facilities every year. Instead, some councillors are wanting to shun the big global giants and give some local banquet hall owners and mini-hoteliers the reins over these facilities. With friends like this.......
