[HAMRetrofit]

You have no idea what you are talking about. A bus drop off with passengers that are quickly transferring to go else where does little to enhance this public space.

First, the pedestrianization project can work if it is attached to a larger subsidization project of creating new street front retail and liveable spaces above them along King Street.

Second, the buses create a terrible condition in Gore Park in which diesel fumes and loud noise reduce the quality of the space. This experience is further degraded by the quick passing cars on one way King Street.

Pedestrianization of Gore Park combined with light rail and subsidization of development projects along King Street will be a major step in making downtown Hamilton far more liveable.
