Not without approvals.

But the unstable nature of the rock face would make it unfeasible. Perhaps the bin-walls would have been good for it when newly constructed... but not given their current condition and likely-to-be-removed future.

yeah the landslides aren't even really stopped by the bin walls. I am actually amazed nobody has gotten seriously hurt from one.

you could do something at the top though like the lit cross is where people all over hamilton can see it lit up at the top of the escarpment...

I really enjoy the architecture and landscaping done with and around City Hall.....here's one photo I took across the street, which I interpret as a way of showing the health of Downtown Hamilton:

beautiful. Glad they are angling it parallel the street, but it will reduce its visibility massively. Is it an omen of a one-day two way conversion?

How long until it gets tagged?

We really need a graffiti tag removal team full-time for downtown Hamilton.

Just silicon spray the whole thing - like waterproofing boots - paint can't adhere to it and so it bubbles and slides right off, while protecting everything underneath.

hang it from the escarpment face, that would be unique then. If our precious escarpment is so special that buildings can't be taller than it then show it off with this on it. Something no other city has. O ya too expensive, everything on the cheap.

Yes because an escarpment face that has danger signs of falling rocks is a real SAFE place to put something like that. Take your passive aggressiveness somewhere else dude, or move to another city - you clearly hate what's going on with this one.. and I for one grow tired of your constant bickering about it.

I'm tired of everyone acting like everything is just fine in Hamilton.

I live in WNY unfortunately I have family in Hamilton, and I maintain an apartment in Durand so my voice matters.

Then run for mayor or council and do something about it.
