  • Removal of Hamilton Health Sciences Atms
    Removal of Hamilton Health Sciences ATMs HMECU is pleased to have provided ATM services at Hamilton Health Sciences locations for many years. Unfortunately, Hamilton Health Sciences has decided to terminate the ATM services agreement with HMECU. As a result, HMECU will be removing all of the HMECU branded ATMs located within Hamilton Health Sciences between September 17th and September 20th. An ATM contract has been awarded to another vendor who will be replacing our machines, however, HMECU is not aware of when the new ATMs will be installed. For more information, please contact Hamilton Health Sciences by emailing [email protected]. What does this mean for HMECU members? There will still be ATMs in each of the locations, however, the ATMs are not credit union ATM machines, nor are they part of THE EXCHANGE® Network. Because the replacement ATM machines are not part of THE EXCHANGE Network, there will be a $1.50 surcharge to use any of the newly deployed machines. Due to Interac® regulations, there is no possible way for members to avoid paying this fee when they use the new ATMs. If you would like to review and discuss your HMECU service charge package, please call your branch directly, or email [email protected]. HHSC Locations and Alternative ATMs Listed below are the addresses of the HHSC locations where HMECU ATMs are being removed. Also listed are some nearby locations of ATMs on THE EXCHANGE Network where you can withdrawal funds ding free®.

  • Cootes Drive
    Cootes Drive By: Aaron Burton For Dundas Turtle Watch 1/5/2020 CASE STUDY #1 COOTES DRIVE A major travel route in Dundas since the mid-1930s1, Cootes Drive stretches across over three kilometers of land. It connects the heart of Dundas to Main Street in Hamilton, enabling access to York Road, Highways 5 & 6, and, of course, McMaster University and Hospital. HOW FAST?! Aside from being built through an ecologically sensitive wetland, which probably was not a main issue in the 30s, there is another interesting thing about Cootes Drive. Drivers start and finish going the standard 50km/h, but they enjoy a thrill at 80km/h across most of the mid-section. Just for some perspective, this is the same speed that is allowed on the Red Hill Valley Parkway! In 2019, the speed limit was reduced from 90km/h on the RHVP due to the number of traffic accidents and potential driving hazards. Since local endangered wildlife is seen neither as victims nor driving hazards, vehicles are still allowed to zip up and down Cootes Drive. It is true – there are no homes, only one controlled intersection, and pedestrian traffic is safely shielded by a chain-link fence on a portion of the road; however, the fact remains that Cootes Drive is still only an arterial road in Dundas, not a major throughway. During walks along Spencer Creek, there are many evenings in the summer months when, upon getting the green light, vehicles can be heard accelerating up the hill, and instinct informs that they are going well above the already excessive 80km/h.

  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.
