Just because the core isn't ready for a retail resurgence doesn't mean the waterfront won't fly. It hasn't stopped Locke Street from becoming a destination for shops and restaurants.

As was mentioned in another thread, people try to draw build a barrier between waterfront and parks, and ANY retail development. You only have to go to larger US cities or Europe to realize that when put together properly, they enhance and build awareness and use. I think there's a sizable population in hamilton that are looking for an alternative to the malls, and Locke Street, Dundas, and this development will reap the benefits until downtown Hamilton can get it's act together.

I REALLY hope this happens.
