The order of Canada recipient and trucking firm owner Sir Ron Foxcroft weighs in on trucking in Hamilton and agrees that transport trucks need to be off of our downtown streets. Well said Sir Ron. Great industry leadership!! #HamOnt

Fluke Transport CEO Ron Foxcroft writes: It is now time to take transport trucks away from downtown, away from Cannon Street, and away from the Queen-King Street right turn. #HamOnt torstar.co/aL5X50oJvs6

Great news for the people of Hamilton that #HamOntLRT is back on track! We would like to thank the Minister of Transportation for confirming the province’s investment in the community and for bringing much needed transit to the residents. #HamOnt

The comments being made on social media by people who oppose reconsideration of our urban truck routes in @TruckRebootHam are truly ghastly. It seems that even the death of a human being means nothing to them. @ward1wilson @JasonFarrHamOnt @NrinderWard3

Family of cyclist killed by cement mixer calls for ban on heavy truck ‘shortcuts’ through inner city Hamilton torstar.co/J7ui50ofu4k #HamOnt #TrafficNotes

By splitting the truck traffic into three parts in this graphic, I get the feeling the staff member hoped to downplay this element.

Interesting diagram from the staff presentation. 6.57% of traffic on this section of Main Street West between Ray & Queen is heavy &/or large trucks. All told, nearly 20% is truck traffic

.@ward1wilson is in tears remembering Herman Ohrt, the cyclist who was killed by a cement truck. We need a city built for people, not trucks, she says. Until the terms of reference reflect that, she can't support them lifenews.ca/announcement/885…

That's quite true. But while @HamHealthSci HGH is a major regional trauma centre and an asset to our community, no city should desire to be a good place for training trauma surgeons on the basis of its own road traffic collisions.

You either mean 1. A cement mixer and a bicycle, or 2. The driver of a cement mixer and a cyclist. "A cement mixer and a cyclist" implicitly places responsibility on the (now dead) cyclist. @CycleHamilton @VisionZeroCA
