Hamilton Daystarter: Everything you need to know Monday

Written By Unknown on Senin, 28 April 2014 | 22.46

Enjoy that sun today, Hamilton. This looks like the last time we'll see it all week before loads of rain – so get out there and enjoy it.

Commuters should remember that starting today, some lanes on the Gardiner Expressway will be closed due to construction. The roadwork is expected to wrap up in December 2016, but crews will take a break in July 2015 for the Pan Am Games.

Passengers going to or from Toronto should expect delays of at least 30 minutes during peak hours.

On top of issues on the Gardiner, GO Transit is also warning of slowdowns close to Aldershot station. The Ministry of Transportation has begun repairs on the Waterdown Road Bridge. While two–way traffic has been somewhat restricted, all ramps and exits remain open, GO Transit says. The construction should be completed sometime in July. In the meantime, GO Transit is recommending you allow for extra time entering and leaving the station.

Here are the issues police are reporting on the roads this morning:

  • A collision on York Road. 7:52 a.m.
  • A vehicle collision on King Street East and Balmoral Avenue South. 7:24 a.m.
  • A crash on King Street East and Grosvenor Avenue South. 7:17 a.m.
  • Traffic problems on Wentworth Street South and Cumberland Avenue. 6:51 a.m.

Monday should be sunny with increasing cloudiness this afternoon, Environment Canada says. Today's high is 12 C except 7 C near Lake Ontario. Winds becoming northeast 30 km/h late this morning. UV index 7 or high.

Tonight will be cloudy, with periods of rain beginning late this evening. Amount 5 mm. Wind northeast 30 km/h. Low 7.

Tuesday will be even more damp, with rainfall amounts of 15 to 25 mm expected.

This shot comes courtesy of Susan Braithwaite, the executive director of the International Village BIA:

Two men in their 50s were rushed to hospital Sunday night after being stabbed multiple times. Emergency crews were called to a home on Wellington Street South near Hunter Street in central Hamilton just after 8 p.m., EMS Manager Carmen D'Angelo told CBC Hamilton.

"Both had multiple stab wounds," he said.

And Hamilton residents will have the opportunity starting this week to weigh in at a series of meetings about a dramatic plan to close a total of 10 elementary schools in three areas of the city.  

On Tuesday, the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) will host a 6 p.m. community consultation at city hall about a staff recommendation to shutter three schools in West Flamborough and replace or expand two more. The board is set to hold two more sessions at city hall next week to get feedback on similar proposals for East Hamilton and the Central Mountain.

You probably missed the "blood moon" lunar eclipse from earlier this month, as it was dreary and rainy that night.

But here's a time lapse of the whole thing:
