The lower Davis Creek Flooding and Erosion Control Environmental Assessment Project began in the fall of 2008. Davis Creek flows from the escarpment and runs northerly adjacent to Quigley Road and south of King Street East. The scope of work includes flooding and erosion control of the Davis Creek watershed below the escarpment and considers the impact on the flows in the entire watershed area.
Many residents who back onto the creek have witnessed severe erosion over the past decade. The final report will recommend erosion control measures to stabilize the creek banks, to permanently resolve the longstanding problem. I've been advised by City staff that a Public Consultation Centre will be held to seek input from the public and other stakeholders, and we'll be initiating a project webpage on the City's website closer to the date of the public meeting.

Confederation Park Free Parking
|
|
As a member of the Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA), I've worked with HCA staff, its board and area residents to have the parking fees removed at Confederation Park. Since the 1970s, Confederation Park was the only park in the City of Hamilton that charged a gate fee for visitors. The new Master Plan for the park identified the fees as an issue, and encouraged both the HCA and the City to decide whether the fees would be removed or whether they would be expanded to apply to the area around Hutch's and Lakeland Pool. I'm pleased to advise that as of January 1, 2012 the parking fees at Confederation Park have been eliminated. Thank you to those residents who assisted with the petition and participated in the master planning process.
