Statement by Blair Doyle

Ive lived in Hamilton for 30 years. A public transit user throughout. Clearly the light rail system offers a lot to existing travelers while attracting new users who otherwise feel bus systems are too inefficient and slow.

I have seen my neighborhood flourish with hope and anticipation, new business starting to pop up..

Then the buying up of property, boarded Windows with graffiti everywhere.. but that's worth the end game here. We who live here know this.

Then the announcement came that it would be cancelled and of course we suspected it was fitting given the provincial government being what it is today.. inflating numbers, misdirection and a promise stolen from the public.

Now my neighbor's talk of vacant buildings, drug dens returning after a decade or more of endless pursuit for neighbourhood improvement.
