[edit] New Highway 6

I designed the electrical for the New Highway 6 in Ancaster/Glanbrook part of Hamilton, and also helped work on the Linc/403 interchange. I have asked around here at work, and cannot find anyone who can confirm that the Linc was ever used as a routing for Hwy 6 (which I assume you mean would have been the connection from 403 to Upper James). So I deleted that statement from the article.

In fact, the Linc is a city-owned parkway, while Hwy 6 still lies under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (as it's a long-haul route), so I think it would not have even been legal to route Hwy 6 along the Linc. I certainly didn't label the Linc as "Highway 6" in the contract drawings I had prepared for the Linc/403 interchange, and I would have had to if this assertion were true.

I do remember, however, that the original routing of Hwy 6 through Hamilton came off the 403 (either on King & Main, or via York street, I'm not sure which), came up the mountain on either Wellington or James/John (probably Wellington because it then would have taken the Claremont Access to Upper James), and then along Upper James out to Mount Hope and beyond. I can supply a map scan if someone wants definitive proof of this.

I'm open to being corrected, but I think my past 6 years of employment would have been different if that Linc assertion were true.
