Statement by Robin Parsons

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

Dear Premier Ford:
Hamilton has done the hard work to show our support for LRT. Now we're asking for fair treatment compared to other cities. Sir, the people of Hamilton implore you: please let the bid process finish. If the final bids come in over budget, we can scale back the project (like Mississauga just did) or ask the Federal Government to help.
Let's explore every option to get this transformative investment in economic development back on track so Hamilton can really be "open for business" and help drive Ontario's economy forward.

The approved LRT, and the upgrades to infrastructure that go along with it, are central to a worthwhile, sustainable, and environmentally conscious transit update in the city. Please consider the importance of honouring your commitment to help implement this project. Do not dismiss this based on projections which cannot be verified. A decision with an impact this immense demands an open discussion, with transparent cost details. After years of debate, over $160M already spent, and countless jobs on the line - this is the very least that our citizens deserve.
