Fixed It…
How green roofs weren’t included in the initial design is mind-boggling!

The Formal Consultation submission document includes some great stuff that hasn't been posted here yet. Here's a link:

I was initially expecting the public space to slowly get trimmed back, but if anything it’s becoming more rigorous. I see three things that should capture everyone’s attention:A few images from the above:

Above is the pipe gallery (structure holding major pipelines that service or have serviced industry on site), and this shows people able to walk underneath to access the waterfront.

This is so huge but just one of many things that will forever reshape the east end of Hamilton. I think Barton St. might see the biggest benefit from this project, intersecting Gage St. right at the middle point of the escarpment and the waterfront. The decrepit and underdeveloped spaces between Barton Village and Ottawa Street should see a facelift from this, and it will be nice to see those areas connected better since both are equidistant at a 10 min walk from the intersection at Barton & Gage. A couple key things missing from the image that we should also have by the time this project is finished are Brightside Park (Gage & ~Barton), and fingers crossed, a completed LRT line. I highlighted it all on the map and added my pipe dream of redeveloping Centre Mall around a new GO station at Ottawa St.
I'm with you on the Centre Mall GO, it's so obvious that it makes you wonder what the land owners have schemed. Perhaps the latest legislation allowing new types of financing for GO stations will see something materialize.This is so huge but just one of many things that will forever reshape the east end of Hamilton.

One's mind would immediately go to Mcmaster, followed (rather distantly) by Mohawk College. I struggle to see any other player, but both of these seem to have ample campus space-especially Mac with the Innovation Park. unless Mohawk is getting in on the International Student frenzy.For the sizeable educational campus, I wonder if they have someone in mind?!
While I think McMaster might be the first thing on most people's minds, I would bet it would make more sense for Mohawk. Mohawk has programs that make more sense to be beside the steel ports, and further to that point they already have a little discussed or even known about Stoney Creek campus which a friend of mine attended. I could see Mohawk perhaps transitioning or shifting focus to this location as a new campus location. It would also be far more accessible by different modes of transportation like bicycle and transit.One's mind would immediately go to Mcmaster, followed (rather distantly) by Mohawk College.

Precisely; the downsizing and redevelopment of their Hamilton campus signals disinterest unless they secretly knew an opportunity was coming at Steelport- but I doubt that.Brock University has a regional presence, though it just shifted that to Burlington.
