I'd LOVE a passenger boat service between Hamilton, Toronto & Niagara, and would use it.

#HamOnt's and the GTHA's traffic gridlock are hellish, I *love* sailing, and what a fab way to leisurely travel to T.O. and the Falls or NOTL.

Would also love a local east-west Stoney Creek to downtown ferry.

When some of #HamOnt’s most recognizable entrepreneurs and downtown community leaders are openly revolting against this “new guard” council, you know there’s a serious problem. These are the very people who spent years desperately trying to turn the #HamOnt core into a vibrant, livable space (1)

🚴‍♂️ This cycling loop in #HamOnt's Upper #StoneyCreek looks perfect. Tree-lined medians, bike lanes, buffer zones...

But is it actually safe?

We rode the Paramount/Winterberry Loop to find out.

Yes, it’s bikeable. And yes, it’s worth it.
