If you received an unsigned letter about the future of lands along Twenty Road West, you're not alone - and you deserve straight answers. Councillor Tadeson has written directly to affected residents to clarify where the process stands, what remains unresolved, and what his office is doing to stay informed. Dear Neighbours, My office has been made aware of an unsigned, unattributed letter that has been delivered to residents of the adult living communities north of Twenty Roa

The City of Hamilton has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed Airport Employment Growth District (AEGD) East-West Arterial Road Network. While this project is primarily located in the Ancaster area adjacent to Ward 11, it has potential implications for residents and traffic patterns in our community.

The City of Hamilton is conducting an Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the intersection of Binbrook Road, Trinity Church Road, and White Church Road - and the second Public Information Centre is coming up. What the EA Is About This EA is examining how to improve a busy and increasingly complex intersection in the heart of Binbrook. The study is evaluating a range of design alternatives, including possible roundabout configurations, to determine the best long-

The City of Hamilton is undertaking a comprehensive Road Classification and Right-of-Way Study - and Ward 11 residents have an opportunity to weigh in directly.

General location map provided, exact location to be determined by City of Hamilton staff When a Ward 11 resident raised concerns about pedestrian safety at the intersection of Southbrook Drive and Tanglewood Drive, I made sure City staff took a proper look at it. They did. And the intersection has met the technical criteria for a pedestrian crossover with flashing beacons. This project is now included in the 2027 capital budget for design, with implementation to follow throug

Lake Niapenco at the Binbrook Conservation Area is Hamilton's only Conservation Area beach operated by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority — and for years, the way swimming safety information was communicated to the public wasn't working as well as it should have been. The Problem Both Hamilton Public Health and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority had the capacity to test beach water. Both were doing their jobs. But differences in how each organization repor

Coordinated Phragmites Management If you've noticed tall, dense reeds taking over ditches, wetlands, and naturalized areas around Glanbrook and Upper Stoney Creek — that's Phragmites australis, and it's a serious problem that's been growing for years. Why It Matters Phragmites spreads rapidly and overwhelms natural habitats, forming dense stands that crowd out native plants and fundamentally change how wetlands function. The ecological damage runs deep. Marsh-nesting birds av

Ward 11 has great parks - playgrounds, spray pads, sports fields, walking paths - but many locations don't have permanent washroom facilities. For families with young children, seniors, and visitors spending an afternoon outside, that's a real gap. This summer, I'm addressing that directly. What's Being Installed Accessible portable washroom units will be in place at two Ward 11 locations for the summer season, running approximately May through September: Fairgrounds Communit

New Comfort Station at Binbrook Conservation Area This summer, visitors to the Binbrook Conservation Area will find a new, more accessible washroom facility at the beach area on Lake Niapenco - a meaningful upgrade that's been a long time coming. How It Got Built The project moved forward through a motion I brought forward that allowed the City to act as a bridge financier for the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. Council approved up to $500,000 from the City's Unallo

If you've spent an afternoon at the picnic areas in the Binbrook Conservation Area, you may have noticed that some spots are a considerable walk from the nearest washroom facility. For families with young children, older visitors, or anyone with mobility considerations, that distance is a real barrier. I've been working on two fronts to address this. New Comfort Station - Open This Season This year, visitors to the beach area at Lake Niapenco will find a new, more accessible

Dickenson Road Tunnelling — Project Update The Dickenson Road tunnelling project has been underway for some time now, and residents in the area know better than anyone what that means day to day — detours, dust, and patience.

Water Billing Has Moved to the City — Here's What You Need to Know Starting April 2026, Hamilton residents and businesses receive their water bills directly from the City of Hamilton through the new Hamilton Utilities Billing (HUB) system.

Hamilton was Ontario's first age-friendly municipality — and the City is now developing its next Age-Friendly and Dementia-Inclusive Community Plan, covering 2027 to 2031. This plan guides how Hamilton supports older adults in staying active and connected, accessing programs and services, and living safely and independently in their communities. It's developed through a partnership between the City of Hamilton, the Hamilton Council on Aging, and the Seniors Advisory Committee

Grass Cutting in Ward 11: What to Expect This Season The City's 2026 grass cutting program runs from April 13 through October 30. For Ward 11 residents, it's worth knowing that service looks different depending on where you live — and that difference is intentional. Rural Roadsides Ward 11 includes a large rural area, which means a significant portion of our roadside maintenance operates on a rural schedule. Rural cutting is focused on road safety and drainage function, not a

Parks Maintenance in Ward 11: What to Expect This Season As spring gets underway, the City's parks maintenance and operations program is active across Hamilton - including in Ward 11. Here's a plain-language summary of what residents can expect this season and how to report concerns when something needs attention. General Cleanliness & Waste Collection Waste collection bins are distributed throughout parks and open spaces, with service levels that increase during peak months

Reviewing How Hamilton Uses External Consultants As your Councillor, I've made a commitment to look at how the City operates - not just what we're doing, but whether we're doing it as efficiently and accountably as we should be. That means being willing to ask uncomfortable questions, even when the answers take some digging to find. Recently, I brought forward a motion on Strategic Workforce Capacity and Consultant Utilization. In plain terms: I want to know whether Hamilton
