I walked by 210 King E #Hamont today. The front door and some upper windows were open and work was going on inside. I inquired what was happening and was told that there are going to be apartments upstairs and commercial on the ground floor. Good to hear as this has been vacant for a long time.

@cityofhamilton.bsky.social This gentleman with a mobility scooter had no way to traverse the sidewalk in front of 441 King Street East if not for pedestrian assistance. Please put some type of temporary ramp for situations such as this.

E-bikes could slash our reliance on cars – but overpowered illegal models on the roads make us all less safe

If you’re a Canadian who would like to voice your consternation toward America, record yourself and share it on your socials (except for X – we don’t use that). Use #PUCKOFF so we can find it and if you’re angry enough we may put you on the show!
