Hamilton City Council meets as a whole for their only August GIC meeting today.
There are other properties along the Red Hill Valley that may face similar erosion issues due to similar fill. Council will consider purchasing them in the future if they encounter similar non-City caused erosion issues.
Council’s Emergency and Community Services Committee’s July meeting was short – just under one hour – as Councillors focused on their business at hand: Skate parks, youth engagement, early years funding, and more.
Chris Herstek, Director of Recreation, says his department will present the new youth engagement strategy to Council in September. The City is presently consulting with youth to complete the report.
It was affordable housing day at Council’s Planning Committee as they approved two affordable housing projects – the proposed new Ottawa Street YWCA which will include affordable housing, and Indwell’s James Street North development.
Council also approved a new residence for individuals with brain injuries in Upper Stoney Creek, a new sub-division in Ancaster, housekeeping zoning amendments for two farms in Flamborough, and a severance on Howard Blvd in Flamborough.
Hamilton City Council’s Planning Committee gave its approval Tuesday for YWCA’s plan to construct a new six-storey mixed use building with 50 affordable housing units to replace their present Ottawa Street location at 52 – 64 Ottawa Street North.
Indwell received approval for a four storey building with 45 units at 500 – 512 James Street North. Indwell is partnering with Hughson Street Baptist Church, which owns the property and will be housed in the first floor and basement.
