I think we should relocate a portion of innovation park to the West Harbour and create a McMaster University campus and residents with it. It sounds sustainable to me. Jobs would be created in the downtown. Planned condo developments would likely follow. This will draw people to live in the area, which is the ultimate goal for our struggling core. In addition, a need would be create for a rapid transit system and a case to present to the province to fund a system. It seems like a "win-win-win" to me. Hamilton gets a state of the art football facility, our downtown gets a needed boost and the Ticats stay in Hamilton. McMaster has not shown any interest in the past to move to the downtown, so an incentive would be needed for them to participate.
