Being homeless is not an offence and I’m pretty sure there is a law that says the Police cannot arrest and detain someone because they look or smell bad.

As for sleeping on benches, the homeless have the same right to each bench in Hamilton as I do.

Hoping this includes lighting for dark section of the city. Lighting is quite poor:
Court street north- between Victoria Street and Front Street
Church street west – between Par-la-ville road and Queen street
Bermudianna Road (whole road)
Victoria Street – between King Street and Parliament Street
Cedar Avenue
Parliament Street
I’m sure there are others…

In addition, safer sidewalks. The sidewalk on Victoria Street outside of Harboulight is EXTREMELY dangerous for everyone. The trees roots have made the sidewalks terribly uneven.

The Police if any, ignore them. I don’t wanna here the excuse that ‘oh the Police can’t be everywhere’ that song is old. Because they are always around to stick a ticket on your vehicle.
