This notice was sent out to beach area residents; April 8, 2020 City of Hamilton - Hamilton Water 330 Wentworth Street North Hamilton, Ontario L8L 5W2 P: 905.546.2489 www.hamilton.ca Dear Beach Blvd. Area Resident, Re: High Water Levels - Sanitary Sewer Flooding & Directing Basement...

March 31, 2020 Dear Resident: During the COVID-19 emergency, my office will remain accessible to you. With City Hall and other municipal facilities closed, my staff (Lucy) and I will be working from home and answering your questions and calls via email and phone. Our contact information...

Yes, Dorothy doesn't give any specific information on how or who the lease payments were given to and I don't see much info in the other Beach history books. Hamilton didn't take the Beach over until the late 1950's, so they wouldn't of received any payments but Saltfleet would until the Beach...

The City told me that they are going to start near the canal, there is usually a dumpster there all summer long, I guess it will be full quite often. Hopefully it makes a difference.

Different times, the original houses would of been difficult to move as they were all very large and owned by the very rich. I haven't referenced the houses moved thread, but the two main reason that houses were moved was the building of the Skyway Bridge and any house in the way was demolished...

Maybe by August if we are lucky, the Province has all the beaches closed and the City has to enforce.

In Dorothy's book, she was referring to the lots that were leased out on the south side of the canal. She also mentions that on the Burlington side of the canal there were eight lots set out on the bayside and 59 lots laid out on the lakeside in 1875. But there wasn't much development at that...

I would have to look to be sure, but from what I have read in the Beach history books, the Keeper's house was moved because of the new Radial Bridge being built but the pictures contradict that statement. And yes you are correct, there is an error on the date of this picture as in 1878 the...

I just received a couple of postcards that show Confederation Park, the photos in these cards would of been from the 1970's. Even though I spent some time there, my memory isn't as good as it use to be. And another from our Photo Gallery

Worth noting, the City of Hamilton has completely shut down the access to the Beach Trail and parking, but in Burlington it is business as normal. Parking is open and there are plenty of people on the Trail and Burlington side pier. The only closure is the beach. Hamilton side; All closed...

In the attached picture (courtesy TPL) the single bascule bridge can seen with one set of radial tracks and only one power wire for the radial cars. This one line would be used for travel in both directions. This bridge was finished in March, 1922.

Yes two other big ones, both are delayed. The Olympics until next year and the Around the Bay will be in November.

I agree, Many old pictures and post cards show the same towers on the lake side of the Beach, attached is a picture show a train travelling over the newly open lift bridge (so after 1962) and the same towers are still in use. Picture copyright Helmut Ostermann

Two wires are clearly visible in a couple of the photos added to this thread, I would assume that there was double tracking on the line and the radial cars would have a large separation and two power lines would be needed. Once the radial line went down to one track, two power lines would allow...

Then we are back to what happens when the bridge opened and the power was interrupted? I still haven't seen any information on the Dominion power plant, that was located on the opposite side of the harbour, suppling power to the radial line. The map included in Cataract Traction only shows one...

It is not looking good for school, hockey, basketball and there will be long delays for baseball. The CFL is already talking about delays and no Easter Bunny.

There doesn't seem to be much action in the nesting box, but the regular falcon spotters haven't been around just yet to update us.

There is a lot less people down here as the Trail is completely shut down plus all the parking at the canal and Confederation. Local residents have to walk their dogs on the sidewalk now, but everyone are keeping apart. It going to be a long one.
