As a public school teacher I know the benefits of affordable transit on the most vulnerable and marginalized students and residents of Hamilton. A robust and diverse public transit system has been needed for the last 10+ years. LRT is a substitute for a proper subway system, but measurably more impactful and efficient than the current or "proposed rapid bus system".

The Hamilton LRT is an important part of the cities growth. Today with housing affordability being the issue that it is, many people are commuting around more over moving. I truly believe that stopping this project will only hinder Hamilton's economic growth and project in less tax revenue for Ontario.
