What a bunch of idiots. Saturday morning, day after Black Friday, Christmas shoppers and Hamiltons main artery is closed because some lame brain city engineer decides, auh, lets pave a major junction during the busiest time of the year and it should go un noticed. I dont think the corparation can think their way out of a wet paper bag at the best of times.
Why cant that work be done on a Sunday or during a week night when traffic is light and definately not in DECEMBER?
Reid Street has got to be the worst road in Hamilton and is in dire need of repaving. God help us all, they will probably shut that down next week right over the Christmas New Years period because they cant see beyond common sense.
Good going CITY ENGINEER.

Anything to create havoc, road delays and annoyance to road users. They dig up these roads and don’t even pave them back properly. Reid Street, beginning from N.T. Butterfield Bank is terrible, going all the way down to Queen Street. Why don’t they go down there and fix that road. You ride and drive on that street and you feel like you’re on a roller coaster ride.

This is a result of when Ewart Brown was in power and said that they wanted less traffic in the main city so this is one of the ways they are doing it.

Why on earth would you do roadworks on one of the busiest shopping weekends? No common sense what so ever.

On Friday I also noticed a sign by the cycle bay running along the west side of City Hall ‘no cycle parking here tomorrow’ . Another parking challenge for Saturday shoppers!

Amazing for sure! They also keep taking away parking spaces to make the sidewalks bigger why?
An expense they could sure save on! The new 3 lanes at Reid St approaching Court St are also a complete waste
of time!
Then in front of the Supermart market you can’t park in the morning or in the late rush hour! Why? You can on Sats and sometimes they are busier! C o H get a life – who the heck is making these daft decisions!

That’s the age old question, why the hell do they do the trash at rush hour, even worse was last week they had a water truck on front street double parked while the damn fools watered the grass by the parking lot, traffic was backed up to Paget! If any of them had an IQ over 10 they could have figured out they should have done the work from inside the parking lot, we have a very very serious problem with the entire CofH they run the city like it’s their own playground, don’t maintain much of anything and provide little green sweepers for the guys to ride on or walk behind that don’t work nor does the person pushing it, look at the clown that does Reid St, he stands by the machine most of the day and does no work whatsoever, then starts his stupid machine and try’s to mow down people on the sidewalk, all evidence there is no management in that organisation

Speaking of serious gridlock, tell me why the trash needs to be collected every morning during rush hour! Why not pick up the f**king trash half an hour earlier.

there is nothing stupider than this. ignorance at it’s finest. CoH may I suggest start this work a 3.30pm Monday afternoon until 6.30 pm Friday. That way you will inconvenience even more people. Also get your traffic lights set up to create even more backlog, they are close now but I know you incompetent lot can make it worse. The worst part is that this isn’t even close to the WORST section of Reid St

Another example of the autocratic CofH making stupid decisions that affect people trying to conduct business, it’s getting that any decision made by the CofH should go to a 3rd party for a sniff test
