Statement by Denise O’Connor

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

Hamilton is a large city that has recovered from the loss of manufacturing jobs and is well positioned to thrive and become a great contributor to the provincial economy. We need the increased density in the lower city that comes with LRT. Hamilton has high rates of poverty and this project offers the opportunity to help address that need. You got poor advice from Ms Skelly, who is not a visionary leader. There’s still time to do the right thing.

Dear Premier Ford,

I am writing to show my support of the long-approved Hamilton LRT transit project. I believe that this has been and will continue to be a transformative investment in both Hamilton and for the Province.

This project was within a few short months of having the RFP’s submitted and has already had so much work completed on it, ie studies, planning, purchasing of properties along the route , that to throw this all away does not make sense.

This province needs you to follow-through and let the RFP’s come in and for this investment to go through to completion.

Respectfully submitted,

Deb Avetissian
