Hello Ward 8 Neighbours,
Are you an avid explorer? Do you love visiting the many waterfalls around the city? Bruce Trail addiction? The City of Hamilton is looking for individuals like you to participate in its Albion Falls survey, aimed at understanding your visiting experiences.
For more details, please continue reading below….
Since November 18, the City of Hamilton is inviting the community to participate in its Albion Falls Survey aimed at understanding visitor experience and to gauge resident support for a new south viewing platform.
From the City’s press release:
In 2005, the City of Hamilton built the north viewing platforms, associated trails and a parking area at Albion Falls in order to provide a safe and accessible location to view the Falls while protecting the environmentally sensitive area. Since then, the City has partnered with the Hamilton Future Fund Board of Governors and various stakeholders to determine the feasibility of a new access and platform on the south side. Additionally, City staff and the Ward 6 Councillor’s office have been working with the Albion Falls Stairway Task Force, a group of dedicated residents and community stakeholders, whose input has shaped the design of the viewing platform.
In addition to a new south viewing platform, other improvements would include:
- Stairs and elevated boardwalks, with rest areas at the access point, mid-point and end point
- Benches and signage
- Restoration planting and seeding
- An East-West Pedestrian Crossover on Mountain Brow Boulevard
The survey runs until February 22, 2021. To take the survey, or learn more about the Albion Falls south viewing platform project, including schedule and next steps, visit: www.engage.hamilton.ca/albionfallsviewingplatform
