As a resident of the area around West Harbour (just a few blocks away), I am strongly in support of this MZO. It is evident this neighbourhood needs more options for housing (given the encampments nearby) and it feels like the options for a negotiated settlement with CN have been exhausted.
This area of Hamilton had a thriving community years ago and now is in ruin with these row houses standing empty. The community needs this as with the housing shortage the government needs to cut the red tape.
I worked at this housing complex for six years, teaching English to many residents of the Jamesville low rent housing community. At that time it was a vibrant, thriving part of the North End, with residents who appreciated a decent place to live at an affordable price.

I agree ONLY if the City of Hamilton is footing the Bill for this and not the tax payers. They are the ones that ran families out ( just like landlords do) they let it sit and rot for years.. worse conditions now then they were families there.. Also if only if built for Geard to income families.

Project needs to move forward but on a much smaller scale. There are way to many units proposed in a small area and our mayor thinks it’s appropriate to add even more than the initial plans. Traffic and parking will become very difficult in the area.

Our city has a severe housing crisis and this space holds potential for a solution. This land was entirely dedicated to affordable housing previously, and it should remain that way.
People have been living in the north end beside that shunting yard for decades and only now does CN have a problem with it? Why now? When we have a huge homeless problem, this needs to get built!
Hamilton is in dire need of affordable housing, people simply cannot live in tents in public spaces; this is inhumane. There is a solution with the development of this property. Housing existed here for many years without issues related to the CN property.

I strongly urge that this project be allowed to proceed without further delay. Unfortunately, the CN current hold is causing significant frustration. The site in question is currently an eyesore in the northern section of Hamilton, an area with considerable developmental potential.

This is so important and will serve so many families that require housing within our city, I urge the council to push through this approval as fast as possible to help our city and provide our citizens with opportunities to meet their basic human needs.

Hamilton needs affordable housing. The solution seems obvious that, given the housing shortage our city faces and the opportunity to provide some affordable housing the province should take any and all action available to expedite the project moving ahead.

The Jamesville property is ready to become desperately needed affordable housing. The province should order for the development to be approved and to reject CNs concerns. People have lived on that property and nearby for years without issues due to the proximity to the trains.

I fully support the Mayor's request to rebuild housing on this site. CN's reasoning to delay to work about future noise issues makes absolutely no sense as there is housing surrounding this site already and it no where near railyards.
