The redevelopment of this land is critically important to the North End community, providing much-needed mixed-use housing near Hamilton's beautiful bayfront. I am utterly disgusted that CN Rail has obstructed this vital development with their insanely illogical and hypocritical reasons.

This should've been settled long before closing the housing that was still being used. Red tape is what festoons this bureaucratic night mare which added to the homelessness issues of North end Hamilton. Proud of yourselves Canadian National?

Hamilton is in need of affordable housing everywhere but especially near the downtown area. Jamesville area has been abandoned and waiting for construction for this purpose for years, it’s time to build!
I am a resident of Hamilton and strongly believe that using the empty townhomes in Jamesville for low income housing or shelter for the unhoused will help with the housing crisis in Hamilton.

every time i pass by i think what a shame those structures aren’t being used for good. it’s about time we use what we already have in our community to build affordable housing to those who need it.
Hamilton needs affordable housing during this housing crisis, there is simply no denying this fact. The streets of the north end bear the pain of those suffering from homelessness, and residents all across Hamilton are facing steep rents and cost of living increases.

Affordable, dignified and accessible housing! Jamesville has sat empty for way too long. I would love to see the city move forward with building affordable housing on the site
Looking out for your neighbours includes those who are experiencing housing insecurity. I’ve lived in the area for 20 years and would love to see us maximize existing infrastructure to provide shelter and support to all our community members, especially those who are most vulnerable.
It is unacceptable that CN is using their corporate power to block housing for vulnerable families. There was a vibrant community there before the City of Hamilton closed it and no one had concerns about the shunting yard.
Please use the Provincial powers to get this housing built!

We are a young couple living in the North End and have watched this vacant lot sit unused for as long as we’ve been here. It’s become increasingly unsightly and is now a gathering spot that feels unsafe at times.

I am a lifelong Hamiltonian, and have always been dismayed by the waste of space and misuse of this housing opportunity. I would love nothing more than to see these buildings restored or rebuilt as affordable housing. These actions are long overdue.
Fully support this request! There is a housing emergency in the City of Hamilton that requires a number of time sensitive strategies to address this crisis. Having this drag on for close to 10 years is totally unacceptable!
The Janesville community needs this housing project to move forward. How can CN rail claim they care about the noise etc of the community when clearly people are buying and living and thriving along the entirety of the rail system in Janesville.

I support the zoning order to have housing built on the site indicated. It's finally time we get something built for the community as we are in a housing crisis. Please pass this order and allow the city and its partners to build much needed housing.
It's rather rich that our "progressive" city council in Hamilton, which loudly opposes MZOs as anti-democratic and openly despises the Ford government, now suddenly wants an MZO when it suits their purposes. The hypocrisy is palpable.
Hamilton desperately needs more affordable housing, to block building becUse of its proximity to a train yard is absurd when there are other houses closer to the train yard. There's train tracks running through the whole city, citizens car heard the trains all over.
