Rapid Transit Report to Public Works Committee

Featured Statement

LRT is an important part of keeping the momentum of growth and revitalization of Hamilton's downtown going. There's such great potential in the downtown core, a strong sense of community and more and more people are noticing it. Not going forward with LRT would be a step backwards and certainly discourage young professionals like myself from committing to setting up roots in this city and investing my own money back into the community. LRT is a must if we'd like to develop this city's full potential as a strong economic centre in Ontario. The future of every city will depend more than ever on a healthy downtown core. Without it Hamilton will struggle to attract new people and new investments. LRT in Hamilton will be a key part of attracting young professionals, developers, small business and new Canadians to our city and continuing economic growth.
