Tourism Hamilton - ideas

Hamilton is known for its steelmaking pollution and the smell of downtown. We need steelmaking plants to hit their green steel-making targets, have Bunge control their off gassing, and make the lower city more green (trees, gardens, parks, less surface parking) to make the city more people want to visit.

While there are socioeconomic issues to contend with downtown, providing public spaces with large amounts of eyes can contribute to a safer and more welcoming space for visitors to relax, do business, and enjoy our beautiful city.

Fixing the pavement on Main St. from the entrance on Hwy 403 to Lock St. Having a digital board facing the 403 with the coming events in Hamilton. This can bring people from Branford or other places to visit Hamilton and bring more revenue to Hamilton.

The best parts of James, with food, entertainment, and shopping are kind of in the middle of the two mid city go stations, develop these towards the stations. From west harbour, add clear signage right from the station platforms to guide folks to the city or the bay front. West harbour is one of the best go stations in the whole system in terms of what you can do near by, in thanks to bay front and proximity to James (still there is space for improvement). How can the area around central go station be improved, what kind of spaces could be created near here to differentiate it from west harbour? How can the column between the two become a perfect day trip in Hamilton. I feel like the go gives us a great opportunity to attract folks in cities on the go network, as well as be a spot to visit for long distance travelers to Toronto
