Rival plan for Garden Place
Morning everyone,
Another plan to remodel Garden Place has emerged, this time from Chow:Hill director Brian Squair.
Hamilton City Council is proposing an almost $4 million spend on reworking Garden Place, though the deputy mayor says it's "absolutely not done and dusted".
Squair says he's not touting for work but Hamilton could have bigger goals for its central-city square.
So, if you had the levers of power, what would you do to Garden Place?

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?
A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.
It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
