It's interesting to think of what Hamilton would be like today had these 5 things taken place in our history:

  1. Not removing, but instead expanding our streetcar system
  2. No two-way streets
  3. The City Beautiful plan for the NW entrance to the city along the High Level Bridge
  4. The planetarium, skating rink, apartment towers that were all scrapped in the civic square plan
  5. Not destroying York St and Market Square/City Hall for a highway and Eatons.

I'm willing to let Jackson Square slide under the radar because it has brought over 1 million sq feet of office space, a hotel, hockey arena, library and retail space to downtown that otherwise wouldn't be there today.

Just imagine.....
