Over 90% of Hamiltonians surveyed by the City of Hamilton in 2017/18 agreed or strongly agreed that Hamilton's roads could be safer.

Main and King Streets ranked as the most dangerous streets in the city's annual collision reports for motorists and pedestrians. But, we have normalized these fatalities and injuries.

The most fundamental role of any government is to protect and promote the health and safety of residents. King and Main are neither safe nor healthy in their present form.

On Wednesday, May 11, 2022,  Ward 3 Councillor, Nrinder Nann and I will bring forth a notice of motion to Hamilton City Council for staff to identify actions that will improve safety for all users along Main and King streets, regardless of their mode of transit.
