I tend to agree Graham. This bid started out as a downtown focused, city building exercise The location that was used in the bid was the West Harbour and there were synergies between the velodrome, the stadium, the new GO station and light rail. Downtown redevelopment was front and centre in the debate.

Look at current plans, it has become scattered and the focus has been lost. There will be no new facilities downtown and what's worse, this will actually delay rather than expedite the construction of light rail. I would be happy if Hamilton backed out of the Games altogether and focused on city building initiatives that were one of the Pan Am's selling points after all.
