Statement by Matthew Madigan
Please consider this question and answer thruthfully: would you choose to live, work, shop, dine, walk, or spend any significant amount of time alongside a highway? That is how it feels to do any of these day to day things along Main Street in Hamilton. It's fast, it's dangerous, and it's not a place that Hamiltonians like to linger. Light Rail Transit could change the way our Main Street works for the city.
Along with generous sidewalks, bicycle lanes, street trees and reducing the driving speed limit, the addition of LRT refocusses Main Street back to the pedestrian realm, putting people firt, not cars. LRT would facilitate a more livable space, one that citizens and visitors alike would want to spend time in and enjoy. This would encourage economic development making restaurants, stores, offices and housing initiatives viable options.
Lets take back our Main Street and create an alternative to the current highway that slices through the heart of our community. Light Rail Transit is that alternative. Help us make Main Street work for the city of Hamilton again.
