Thanks for joining us for our first multi-location event on Sunday, September 23rd, 2012!

12,000 to 15,000 people experienced Open Streets Hamilton in the downtown core AND in the west end and learned how much fun it is to get around the city without a car!

Shuttle buses ran regularly between the two locations, and, of course, you can walk, ride and roll any day along the Waterfront Trail, take a trip on the Waterfront Trolley, or simply hop on the Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) as you explore the city!
