Another displaced Hamiltonian here.
Back in the 90s they had a plan called "Vision 2020" that painted a dense, people-friendly Hamilton.
Now that 2020 has come and gone, the sprawl is crazy, downtown dead, transit gutted, and commuting by bike a near impossibility unless you're in the west end.
Some fun Hamilton transit facts:
1. There's an abandoned subway station underneath downtown.
2. There used to be a Funicular going up and down the escarpment.
3. When I was a kid many of the buses were electric, with overhead lines criss-crossing the streets like other cities have for trams.
