Not sure that's entirely accurate. The city only bothers in neighbourhoods where they are pressured to make improvements. Whether many of those neighbourhoods are also seeing a revitalization could be coincidence, or could indicate the types of people who are moving there now.

East Hamilton in Ward 4 is seeing some nice cycling improvements in the next couple of years thx to leadership from Sam Medulla and local community councils

I'm going to guess that neighbourhoods such as Strathcona and Crown Point aren't loaded up with Bay St brokers who can't afford their cars anymore since moving here from Toronto, so they're loading 3 bikes on their front porch instead.

It's more a matter of local leadership. We finally have non-mid 20th century councillors at the helm in Wards 1-4. Not surprisingly, those wards are seeing some catch-up (albeit, slow compared to leading cities around the world) in the cycling/safer streets department compared to the rest of Hamilton.
