Down the Drain: Stormwater Management in Hamilton | Tuesday, February 8 @ 6 PM

Storms are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change and we are experiencing more pollution in our waterways and flooding in our communities. This is putting a ton of pressure on our stormwater management systems. But there’s a solution! If we work together to manage rain where it falls we can lessen the impact on our infrastructure and restore our natural waterways. Learn from the City of Hamilton, Hamilton Water group about where your stormwater goes, how to keep our infrastructure operational and why lot-level (e.g. from your yard!) intervention is important for pollution and flood control in our communities.

HAAA Renewal Public Information Centre 3 – Final Design

The City of Hamilton’s Landscape Architectural Services (LAS) section launched a park Renewal Plan for the HAAA Grounds in February 2021.

Since the PIC No. 2 event in June ’21, the project team has been reviewing community feedback and working to refine those two concepts into a single, final Renewal Plan that will be presented at the upcoming PIC No.3.

On behalf of LEV Living, IBI Group will do a presentation about an infill development proposal to construct an 8-storey stepped apartment building adjacent to the Aberdeen Gardens retirement home located at 330 Dundurn Street South and provide an opportunity for feedback from the community.

The proposed 8-storey building would feature 109 one- and two-bedroom residential suites under condominium ownership, a centralized landscaped courtyard amenity space, ground floor lobby and amenity rooms, and a 5^th level floor rooftop terrace close to Aberdeen Avenue.  The proposed apartment building will be constructed on the existing surface parking area. Therefore the proposal provides for two levels of underground parking for 81 vehicles, which will be shared by both building residents, and staff/visitors to the retirement home.  In addition, 16 surface parking spaces and fifty-five (55) indoor and outdoor bicycle parking spaces will be provided.

Note that a formal application for Site Plan Approval has been submitted to the City of Hamilton.
