I get the point about elite class athletes coming to Hamilton to train, but so what?

Graham, I respectfully disagree.

I don't think it's necessary...or even a good thing...to have the requirement that 'this is open to everyone'. What if you were building an equestrian facility? Or an Olympic-grade pool? There are requirements for these facilities (and many other examples) that effectively preclude use by 'the general public'.

To quote a very wise man, 'So what?'

: )

I don't believe the Mohawk location is a good choice for us. (In monetary terms, the students of the college are putting up $2million for the velodrome...but it's costing us and estimated $3million just to 'relocate the parking lost when the velodrome is built'. Huh...?)

This item cries out to be built at West Harbour. It should be a premier, unique facility that is not a tag-on to someone else's needs, that isn't compromised in a panic situation, that allows other opportunities to be built around it.

Otherwise yes, it should be passed on.
