Statement by Stephen Woodruff

The City's LRT plan has $3.4 billion in federal & provincial funding. Show your support for the plan.

Light Rail in Hamilton would bring great benefits to a forgotten urban gem including greatly increasing worker portability, slashed transit trip times, greater system simplicity and more urban density along it's route. These are all issues that I constantly hear politicians of all levels talking about. How about some concrete action in an area that is almost perfectly suited to reap the benefits of Light Rail Transit? It is time now to build this for the future of Hamilton.

Hey I very frequently take HSR from DUNDAS to Hamilton General Hospital for work. I very much support the light rail initiative.
My son had an accident last year and was wheelchair bound for 6 months - thankfully recovering now. It really shone a light on what life is like for people who use wheelchairs and mobility issues. LRT would be a massive help as they board at the same level as the vehicle, no more driver assisted ramp requirements, or only 2 wheelchair capacity like most busses have.
You can definitely tell from how people voted in Ward 13 for Mayoral election - we voted overwhelmingly for mayors who support LRT.
