Par-la-Ville Rd To Be One Lane For 7 Weeks

October 5, 2012

The City of Hamilton today announced that traffic will be reduced to one lane on Par-la-Ville Road starting today [Oct 5] at 7pm. While road works are taking place, traffic entering the city via Par-la-Ville Road will be diverted at Serpentine Road. The City said is anticipated this work will last about seven weeks.

On Saturday and Sunday October 6 and 7, between 7:30am and 5pm, traffic traveling west on Front Street will be diverted at Court Street to Reid Street. East bound traffic will be diverted at Queen Street.

This will allow for Front Street between Number Six Shed and Court Street to be paved. There will be parking access available for those who wish to shop on Front Street.

The City of Hamilton also announced there has been a parking change made along the north side of Front Street between Court and King Streets. Parking restrictions are now in effect between Monday and Friday, 8am to 10am and again between 4pm and 6pm.

The restrictions, when introduced this summer, were originally from Monday to Saturday. This change was made after monitoring the flow of traffic over the last few months.

The City of Hamilton apologized for any inconvenience these traffic changes may cause.

    Who is going to want to ever come the City anymore hardly any parking now due to widing of the side walks in a lot of locations, Oh and thanks COH for for the extremly late news on the Parking restrictions that are now in effect between Monday and Friday, 8am to 10am and again between 4pm and 6pm.

    I like many others have gotten a ticket there and didn’t even know this was in affect.

    Nice way to earn some Big Fast Money COH.

    If yah didn’t know and it was not published, plead not guilty.
    That will give Uncle Archie something to think about.
    And thank the new Mayor Graeme ‘grab it now’ Innerbridge.

    For the last 3 years, almost every street in Hamilton have been dug either once or twice… What kind of planning is this?? COH need to realize people come to work, all the schools are within the COH boundaries and it becoming hard and harder go deal with all these.. And not to mention parking… They need to do a better job planning this…

      You ccccc’herrrrrr, the guvment don’t know about the phraaaase “qualitative”. This phrase would ruin many jobs as repairs would not beee needed within the required time frame to keep all the government working bums busy; no work = no votes yaasee.

      WHAT DO WE WANT?! UMBRELLA HATS FOR ALL GOVERNMENT WORKERS! WHEN DO WE WANT IT?! SUNDOWN

    This is the Corporation doing what they want, anyone else has to jump through hoops and agree to restrictions to get any work done, not with the Corporation they have been ignoring their own permit rules for years while doing the joint trench work for Cablevision and themselves, their so called ” engineers” have no idea what they are doing that’s why the streets are dug up constantly and look at our new wide sidewalks that prevent vehicles from turning on to the roads properly not to mention the parking spaces that disappear each week, the latest is on Dundonald street, 2 loading zones gone but now we have a huge sidewalk! They really have no idea what they are doing or even how to do it, the silly and not thought out paving stone sidewalk looks good but only stays sound for a few months before the stones are loose and needs re doing.

    I doubt if we will ever get quality from these guys until the elect someone who treats the city like a city and not some playground for wannabe “engineers” to attempt to be civil engineers at our expense, I often wonder where the millions of C of H tax goes every year, does it cost that much to pay the fat cats at City Hall?

    well after seven weeks Parlaville should not be dug up again for years coz they are gonna do it all at one time right ..? then it will be fully restored to safe blacktop again right ..?

    • For real says:

      For Real. Every time time they pave a road, they ruin it by digging it up again 3 months later.

  6. i gotta be me says:

    Is anyone really surprised? Graeme (who by all accounts is a nice guy) has never held a job. I’d be surprised if he could run a bath never mind a municipality! He’s only there as the “whitey” in front of the PLP cronies that are telling him to keep dreaming up jobs for their boys = votes. That whole City needs to be looked at again and a complete plan along with voting rights to ALL tax payers. Unfortunately, we won’t see anything like that with the present ‘crew’ in there.

    • Terry says:

      A token. Just like the rest of the PLP.
      Never mind.

  7. Just so you know says:

    u ppl know its election time …. hmmmmmmmm grasping for votes yet again lol

And DANGEROUS and embarrassing I may add, when I see street paving on noT so bad surfaces and this stretch looking the way it does, It irritates me to no end! GET IT TOGETHER COH!!
