Most, if not all of the ridiculously wide new sidewalks are at the expense of cycle parking not car parking.
Most of the gridlock is caused by cars driving around the block time and again looking for street parking and then trying to parallel park or double park. If people parked in the car parks (where the CoH actually wants you to park) and then walked the 100 yards to their shop of choice then there would be less traffic congestion…

Sorry – just realised the answer to my question is right in the article!

Is the COH going to continue creating these 90 yard wide (ridiculous) sidewalks at all junctions throughout the city? The only thing they’re good for is the overnight campers before any parade in Hamilton so they can sprawl out in total comfort and have ample room to leave all their trash behind. There used to be junctions throughout the city where you had a turning right or left lane. Not anymore, now we have grid lock because of these dumb wide jutting out in the road sidewalks. Well done COH.
And by the way, lets get rid of all car bays in the city and create concrete cycle parking everywhere. This will definitely help with your revenue.

How about the trees on Cedar Avenue across from CedarParkde. The sidewalk is coming up. I have witnessed many people falling over on their face. COH should be very lucky they escape lawsuits.

Will different trees, perhaps of a different species, be put in place of the trees being taken out so that we will still have the benefit of trees along the street?
