New Traffic Lights Operational
The City of Hamilton today [Feb.14] announced that the new traffic lights at the junction of Parliament and Church Streets are now fully operational.
Making the announcement was Chief Operating Officer and Secretary to the City of Hamilton Edward Benevides, who stated, “I am pleased to announce that the traffic lights at the junction of Parliament and Church Streets have now been turned on. The new lights are also operational at the junction of Victoria Street and Cedar Avenue.
“I urge pedestrians crossing at these intersections to use caution as there are changes to the traffic light system. Once the button is pressed, the pedestrian should continue to look at the monitor above the button which will indicate when it is safe to cross the street.”
Mr. Benevides added, “Likewise, motorists should continue pay close attention when approaching the new traffic lights. At Victoria Street and Cedar Avenue there is a new road layout on each of the roads at this junction.
“Additionally, the City of Hamilton crew are completing work at the Parliament and Church Streets intersections. Cones are still in place as the work is being finalised.”
Mr. Benevides concluded, “The important thing to remember is that the Walk/Don’t Walk monitor for the traffic lights is above the button and no longer across the street. I urge anyone with questions to contact City Hall at 292-1234.”

I still do not understand the logic… Massive sidewalks to increase the ‘sight line’ at pedestrian crossings (that already have traffic lights). Yet, there are dangerous pedestrian crossings like Victoria Street near Shopping Centre that are hidden inbetween parking spots. And why have parking bays been roped off along Dundonald Street for the past 2 days??. Also, what is up outside of the old police station? Bays for goods vehicles that don’t exist. What delivery person would want to unload while parked on a hill anyway??
