Sam is quoted in your above article, " "I erred at the Centre Mall. I'm proud of it but it could be better, and I don't want to make the same mistake with City Motor." "
Let's all recall that Sam Merulla in and before his 2003 election campaign, was touting the building of a Red Hill Creek Valley expressway as a big plus for commercial/retail development that, on any map I know, was and is a long way from the Centre Mall: Ottawa St. to Kenilworth. Many Hamiltonians saw that as one of the excuses for support of and used by supporters of the expressway, which Sam very much promoted and supported before and during the 2003 municipal campaign. Since then, in more recent years--even after his 2004 public conversion to the NDP (and hence moving away from his support of the 2003 elected mayor?), Sam has re-iterated his strong pro-expressway stand (in news articles), for some of his same reasons. Let's keep that in mind now, if, or since, Sam says he wants to do better now. (Is Sam's motto still, a Stop sign at (almost) every Ward 4 block? Whether safety has thus been added has been discussed in RTH.)
