The Jamesville MZO definitely feels to me like something that needs to be advanced aggressively. This feels like CN dragging its feet to try to extract some kind of concession.

Get it done. We need housing in Hamilton.
I used to ride my bike by the site often and I never noticed any bad smells. Put up noise barriers where CNs existing fence line is.
Thank you

I am a member of the James North community and have been for many years. Many others in the neighbourhood as well as myself think that’s it’s a shame this residential area has sat shuttered and unused when the housing crisis gets more detrimental by the day.

The space has been derelict for years and should be open to new housing initiatives. I'm not sure if your office has anything to do with this, but it would be ideal if you could mandate that at least a third is affordable housing and that the AH units get built first.
You MUST do whatever possible to increase the AFFORDABLE housing supply in Hamilton. Especially for the Jamesville site.
The buildings are there, falling into derelict disrepair while people literally die on the streets.

We urgently need affordable and supportive housing in Hamilton, and Jamesville has sat vacant for far too long! This would transform the neighbourhood and revitalize a part of downtown that is poised to breakout with this kind of development's support!
In response to the proposed Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) for 405 James Street North in Hamilton (ERO number 025-0807):
While I support building more housing, I am concerned that the current proposal leaves affordable housing optional, dependent on funding rather than enforceable commitments.

The city of Hamilton is in serious need of affordable housing units and seeing the Janesville property absent without residential development is genuinely disappointing. I hope the land is zoned for affordable housing, supporting those most affected by the housing crisis.
I have loved ones in the James North neighbourhood. For years I have seen the shuttered windows in these town houses, and have wondered at why there hasn’t been action towards using this space to address Hamilton’s ongoing housing crisis.

As someone who frequents both James St N and Bayfront, Jamesville is something I see almost daily. It’s a shame that an area with so much potential is not being used for the good of the community.

I am a member of the community in the Jamesville neighborhood. These buildings have been shuttered and blocked off for years, while the houselessness crisis in Ontario has continued to worsen. I strongly encourage the above mentioned area be zoned for affordable residential housing.
As a memeber of the James Street North community, i have seen first hand the impact of the housing crisis on my neighbours. Frankly, it is disgusting that this property has sat unused for years when it could be developed into affordable housing for those who need it most.

As a lifelong Hamiltonian, I think it is disgraceful that these townhouses in James North have gone unused in the middle of a catastrophic housing crisis, and I know I’m not the only one that feels this way.

It is heartbreaking that this area has sat unused for this long while there is a housing crisis. Having the city reconsider the use of Jamesville as affordable housing is crucial.
Hello! Proud Northend Hamiltonian here :) I was just talking to my friend the other day about what a shame it is nothing had been done with this space and it sits entirely unused, esp in the middle of a serious housing crisis in the city!!

This space is prime for development of housing for Hamilton’s residents. It has sat unsafe and unused for far too long. Mayor Horwath and council have a plan to help Hamilton’s needful residents find sustainable housing, and we support the plan to develop this site.

I strongly urge to ensure that any Minister’s Zoning Order issued for the Jamesville site in the City of Hamilton prioritizes the development of real affordable, community-based housing.
