Parking meter rate increases take effect across Hamilton today, jumping from $1.00 to $1.50 per hour. These were approved as part of the city’s 2017 operating budget. Also, six companies have been shortlisted to design Hamilton’s Pier 8 Promenade Park. Over the next ten weeks, the firms will develop their designs, and the winner will be selected by a volunteer jury of experts.
