Welcome to Hamilton

I came across this story in the Hamilton Spectator today. City Council is planning on erecting several gateways to welcome visitors and capture the true "essence" of Hamilton. The so-called civic gateways would be located along 400-series highways heading into the city. No offence, but I think the $100,000 could be better used elsewhere. Major streets like Aberdeen, Barton, John and Bay are all going to be resurfaced this year, but there are dozens more that could use a little work. After all, is our goal to look good from the 403, or to look good in the core?

Check out the tentative designs here, and let me know what you think.

I am 100% with you my friend. That money could be used for more road resurfacing or using it in the core.
