Slide the City and police board meeting: DayStarter Thursday

Following yesterday's freezing rain scare that was short lived, some moisture is again in store for today. Don't put away the umbrellas just yet!

GO Transit:

The Lakeshore West line's 7:13 a.m.m train from Union to Aldershot is delayed for just under 10 minutes.
No delays are reported on bus routes connecting Hamilton.

Highways:

OPP have yet reported any collisions in and around Hamilton.

Environment Canada's forecast calls for rain mixed with wet snow beginning this morning and ending this afternoon, as well as 30 per cent chance of flurries overnight.

Expect a high of 4 C and an overnight low of –3 C.

Massive slide

Could there be a waterslide as long as 3 football fields cascading down a Hamilton street this summer? Many of our readers sure hope so.

After we reported on a proposal to bring the popular Slide the City event to Hamilton, our readers have expressed on social media (in all caps and too many exclamation marks) that they welcome the idea. But don't bust out your neon swimsuits just yet. The organizer of the event said he hasn't yet made a formal application to the city. He expects to submit one in the coming days, and is currently debating the best location for the proposed event.

Ward boundaries

City councillor will vote on an ambitious schedule to implement the review of Hamilton's ward boundaries. It's a long overdue debate aimed at bringing more even representation throughout the city — some wards have as few as 17,623 people, while others have more than 60,000.

But not everyone likes the idea — at least two councillors say they aren't sure if they will vote in favour.

Police board meeting

Hamilton Police Services Board's meeting takes place this afternoon at 2 p.m. at City Hall.

Year-end reports on traffic statistics, paid duties, hate crimes and other aspects of the police service will be presented at the meeting.

CBC Hamilton reporter Samantha Craggs will be live tweeting from the meeting. You can follow her on Twitter at @SamCraggsCBC
