An informal group of BNA volunteers committed to reviewing and revising the Beasley Neighbourhood Plan. Over the course of 15 months, more than two dozen volunteers would participate, and this work would not have been possible without their hard work on donated evenings and weekends. This would also not be possible without the tireless work of Beasley’s community developer, Brandon Braithwaite, as well as the many other Social Planning & Research Council community developers who work on behalf of downtown Hamilton residents. We also thank the City of Hamilton’s Neighbourhood Action Strategy and Ward 2 Councillor Jason Farr for their focus on making Beasley a better place to live, work and play, as well as the Hamilton Community Foundation for its support to Hamilton’s neighbourhoods. Many thanks also to Sara Clausnitzer for her photography, Paul Elia for his art, as well as the many, many community members who shared memories & photos you see in this plan. Finally, we sincerely thank all the people who live, work and play in the Beasley community for sharing their thoughts, ideas, and vision for a better Beasley. 2 Welcome Message The first Beasley Neighbourhood Plan, published in 2011, became a guide to drive community pride and ownership with the goal of improving the overall quality of life for residents today - and in the future. In 2015, members of the Beasley Neighbourhood Association recognized the need to update, refine, and expand on the actions established in the 2011 Plan. So much had changed in Beasley since 2011, and many of the first plan’s actions were coming to fruition. We recognized that we needed to take stock of our successes while scoping out weaknesses from new vantage points. We are proud to publish this first update to the Beasley Neighbourhood Plan, and we hope it acts as a kind of road-map to direct the energies of the BNA and its Charter partners, especially the City of Hamilton and its agencies, over the next five years. This plan is the culmination of hundreds of hours of volunteer time, many in-kind and donated resources, and the energy of a team of enthusiastic residents who want to improve their community. After some hard years, the Beasley Badger is standing proud and tall again, and the neighbourhood is excited about its place as the dynamic and diverse heart of the city. It is important to note that this is a living document: as the findings of the NeighbourhoodAction Evaluation demonstrate, these visions for a better Beasley may evolve over time as priorities change, champions move in and out, and resources come and go. We believe that a flexible approach to issues management is important, but the objectives and actions reflect the best resident-driven ideas for building up our community. With a view to the year 2020, the BNA looks forward to working with all interested residents and stakeholders on achieving the very attainable goals in this Plan. Sincerely, Allison Chewter Cindy Stover Mike Borrelli President Secretary Treasurer First published in Hamilton, Ontario in February 2017 by: THE BEASLEY BADGER WANTS bnaBeasley Neighbourhood Association www.ourbeasley.com YOU!1 HISTORY & METHODOLOGY The foundation of the first plan The creation of the 2011 plan was undertaken through the direction of the Beasley Neighbourhood Charter and a group of local stakeholders convened by the Beasley Neighbourhood Association (BNA). The plan supported community bridge-building, inclusivity, and hearing a diversity voices, and these values were integral to its development. Community engagement and two-way information sharing were facilitated through open table-discussions at Charter meetings, and a Community Survey administered through the BNA Participants included: ● Residents and business stakeholders in the community ● Local and provincial governments and their agencies ● Schools and religious communities ● Charitable and other mission based organizations serving in Beasley Planning themes were established and detailed objectives were broken into specific action items that became a list of priority projects identified by the City’s Neighbourhood Action Strategy. 2 Redevelopment of the plan The redevelopment of the Neighbourhood Plan began in mid-2015 with the forming of the BNA Planning Team, consisting of members from the Association’s executive and a large cross-section of residents, community partners, and service providers. Public engagement Public engagement in the planning process was anchored in four pillars: 1. Regular meetings of the Planning Team 2. Public engagement events at the Beasley Community Centre (three in total) 3. 2016 Beasley community survey 4. The use of online/internet engagement tools to geographically map community assets and liabilities. At the initial meetings of the planning team in September 2015, and at a public engagement exercise held at the BCC on November 25th, 2015, themes that had been developed from the 2011 Plan’s goals were explored in order to reconfirm resident commitment to the BNA’s mission & vision, and to explore the values inherent in the 2011 Plan. These discussions identified the four key themes that will be the focus of the 2017 Plan: ● Health & Wellbeing ● NEIGHBOURHOOD Safety ● Parks & Recreation ● Diversity & Inclusion Limitations The following work reflects in-person, survey and online engagement that sampled a limited number of individuals in an effort to draw a broader picture of an incredibly diverse neighbourhood with changing demographics. The BNA is always striving to reach out further, and this Plan is a living document that, like Beasley, will change over the next four years as additional residents become involved, and new actions emerge. 3 BEASLEY NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN PROGRESS UPDATE OBJECTIVE: OBJECTIVE: Improve Parks, Promote Beasley Recreation & As A Great Place Gathering To Live Places BEASLEY & MCLAREN PARK REDEVELOPMENT BEASLEY BANNERS Last year the BNA and the City of Hamilton started work on the redevelopment of two of our Thanks to generous donations from Cogeco, Jason neighbourhood parks.

  • THE GORE PARK BEACONS PUBLIC ART PROJECT Public Consultation
    THE GORE PARK BEACONS PUBLIC ART PROJECT Public Consultation Results The following are a list of the comments provided by members of the public during consultation at the Tourism Information Centre and online at the City of Hamilton website from March 7 to March 20 2017. Thank you to the 220 people who have provided their comments to date. Dave Kuruc • Dave Kuruc is my first choice. Music brings people of all ages and backgrounds together. This would be a beautiful tribute to our city. • I love Dave Kuruc's proposal (truly, all three are lovely, but Dave gets my vote): Hamilton is a diverse city in so many ways, and Dave's proposal speaks to the artistic diversity of the city; and the celebration of Hamilton-born music is such an accessible and universally appealing point of entry and the submission can be appreciated on so many levels. • I like Dave Kuruc the best. It's very urban • I think Dave Kuruc's vision pieces together both visual artists and the art of musicians. In this way it showcases a part of Hamilton's downtown in a creative collaborative way. It includes more than just one artist's work and even more than just one type of art. The snippets of lyrics will invite people to guess the artist and the particular song. Knowing our local musicians and their work is a point of pride for Hamiltonians. I can imagine people gathering with competing guesses about the lyrics. How fitting people could read such markers at Supercrawl and perhaps hear the songs from the park.

    Explaining the Impact of Funding on Public Skatepark Design: A Case Study of Skateparks in Hamilton, Ontario by Sam Heaman A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Sam Heaman, May 2020 ABSTRACT EXPLAINING THE IMPACT OF FUNDING ON PUBLIC SKATEPARK DESIGN: A CASE STUDY OF SKATEPARKS IN HAMILTON, ONTARIO Sam Heaman Advisor: University of Guelph, 2020 Dr. Nadia Amoroso Over the past decade, Hamilton, Ontario has been committed to bringing new and improved skateparks to the city. Some of these projects were funded via the municipal tax base, and others were funded by developer fees. The aim of this study is to determine how support and funding was garnered for these new projects and discern what impact the source of funding has on each project’s final design. This study covers three case studies of skateparks within Hamilton and compare their funding and design to determine how alternative funding impacts public recreational space. Each case includes semi-structured interviews with key informants involved in planning, design and community engagement and secondary analysis of news articles and studies on skateboarding conducted by the City of Hamilton. Findings indicate that funding through developer fees places limits on the location and size of the project, but overall is beneficial from an advocacy standpoint. Key Words: public space, neoliberalism, skateboarding culture, skatepark iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I want to thank the friends that I made in the program, whose support throughout the program was truly indispensable. I have no doubt that Nate’s predictions will come true and we will remain friends for the rest of our careers.
