Suggestions included a bridge to connect the station with Frankton, turning the station into a destination with a train-themed cafe, and a rail museum.
Irene Field said it has always resembled a desolate wasteland and suggested bright murals to liven the area up.
"Why not get someone like Jeremy Shirley in to paint bright, bright murals. He has done Hamilton's bus stops proud. Paint the whole building in bright colours. Do a stencil on the footpath saying Welcome to Hamilton."
Coincidentally, Mr Shirley has been engaged to paint a mural on the north-facing wall of the building. Kiwi Rail has commissioned the work through the city council's Tagbusters unit.
Hamilton City Council's city transportation manager Phil Consedine said the council did a tidy up for the Rugby World Cup, and owns the road down to the station.
"We don't have any agreement [with Kiwi Rail] but we do have a liaison." Mr Consedine said the council could consider discussing a joint tidy up with Kiwi Rail.
Editor in residence at Wintec, and staff writer for Metro magazine Steve Braunias is a regular commuter from Auckland to Hamilton via the train.
He said he gives full credit to those who clean the Hamilton station, but said it is a "sad station" and thinks more planting around the area would improve it.
Reinstatement of a Hamilton-Auckland passenger rail service could be on the cards, as the Waikato Regional Council considers the service in two transport planning documents currently under review.
The issue was raised at Waikato Regional Council in May, during the 2014-15 Annual Plan deliberations.
The reinstatement proposal was put on hold in 2012, following an investigation into its feasibility by a rail working party comprising representatives from various councils and agencies involved.
The favoured option for the proposed rail service was a train stopping at Frankton, The Base (Hamilton), Huntly, Te Kauwhata, Tuakau, Papatoetoe, The Strand and Newmarket.
At the time, the annual operating cost for two daily return services was $1.97 million, with a start-up cost of $970,000. It was expected fares revenue in the first year would reach $740,000, leaving a funding gap to be paid by Waikato ratepayers.
Waikato Regional Council, decided not to fund the rail service proposal because of the financial impact on ratepayers, but agreed to keep a 'watching brief' on any further developments.
