    Please reopen this funding for the Hamilton LRT. We now more than ever need job creation and a connection for our city that the LRT will provide.
    The cost was not was it seemed the real numbers are speaking the truth !
    The land is purchased let's make an effort and do what was promised and make the LRT a reality.
