Here's Mayor Fred wish list, kind of a lame wish list (no transit update?)

City Seeks Support For Infrastructure Projects

Hamilton's mayor will be pushing the city's infrastructure "wish list" this week.

Fred Eisenberger will be meeting with federal infrastucture minister John Baird on Thursday, to go over the city's list of funding priorities under the "Building Canada" program.

The Mayor says he'll be pushing what have already been defined as Hamilton's three priority areas.

The number one priority is the 700 million dollar upgrade that is needed at the water treatment plant.   It is a requirement both for delisting of Hamilton Harbour and for being able to handle future growth.

Road and bridge repairs and recreational infrastucture upgrades are second and third on the list.
