As someone who grew up in social housing, in deep poverty, I know firsthand how critical it is to have access to safe, stable, affordable housing. Without it, my family would have been unhoused.

Please allow the city of Hamilton to build the proposed development on this site. I live a block away and this abandoned site has been sitting vacant for years now.

I live a 2-minute walk away from the Jamesville site and look forward to having it re-vitalized again. It's been sitting there uninhabited and dilapidated for too long.

Please allow this development to go through. With the extent of the housing crisis it's vital that we build affordable units as quickly and as broadly as possible.

For the love of god, please assist the City of Hamilton in proceeding with their dispute with CN Rail and developing the Jamesville project at James and Strachan Street, near Bayfront Park in the north end of Hamilton.

Hamilton has enough derelict, abandoned and empty buildings! Please build affordable housing where the Jamesville townhouses use to be. Hamilton residents are tired of living in ruins!
My family moved to Hamilton in 1987. We rented a 3 bedroom house on Ferrie St W, just up from a thriving, family filled townhouse complex. The units were affordable and many housed multiple generational families.

I was in Hamilton about two weeks ago visiting friends and family (I moved away about 3 years ago, but grew up in Hamilton) and I was shocked to see how drastically the city has declined.

The Jamesville development has sat in limbo for too long. Over 90 households were evicted for redevelopment, but CN has stalled the project indefinitely because they don’t want to lose control over the area.

I generally oppose MZOs because they allow the provincial government to override local planning authority to approve development without expert analysis, public input, or any chance of appeal.

As a resident in the North End of Hamilton it has been incredibly frustrating seeing this site lay vacant while right beside it there are hundreds of individuals living in tents.

Happy to see someone is trying to do something with this site. It is so upsetting to walk by it all of the time, thinking about all of the people who must have lost their homes. It’s an eye sore to the north end.

Freeing up the Jamesville project is way overdue. CN held it hostage for years and we urgently need to create affordable housing in Hamilton. Please move swiftly to bring about positive change!
Please support the proposed development on this site. Hamilton needs the proposed housing. The current state of the partially demolished complex is a safety hazard in the community.
Please issue the MZO. This development would mean so much to the city and its residents, especially those who are in need of affordable housing. It is in short supply in this city and people in need spend years waiting for a chance to live affordably and with dignity.

This Jamesville affordable housing project in Hamilton, ON. needs to go ahead asap, these buildings have been sitting on this property for years decaying while people need homes. It's an eyesore in the community, dangerous and a waste on land in downtown that could be a vibrant area.

Yes CN has a duty to make known any issues that it sees with the proposed housing development as it has certain expertise with regard to railways impacting nearby communities.
