Scott,
“1955 is before my time, but discussions from another thread had some time frame of around 1952-53 where many homes were demolished or moved for upcoming QEW/ Skyway project. This would include the Burlington side which at the time belong to Hamilton for a while.”
Maybe what we need, is to create a thread on the opening of the QEW in 1939, and the construction of the Skyway (I.E.) the roads and bascules bridges origenally involved, the lift bridge, and the houses torn down or removed for the construction of the Skyway bridge.
There is probably lots of information in old news paper articles on microfilm at the Hamilton Public Library. And, in the case of the construction of the Skyway, lots of peaple with lots of memories and information.
