Statement by Sterling Holmes

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

The Ford govt needs to recognize the people of Hamilton were put to a choice by candidate Sgro in our last election and they voted roundly pro-LRT. Doug Ford pledged to respect the voters' s choice. There is no backing down now. Federal and provincial funds can get this funds can get this done. So be the Premier and the govt you all want to be and go forward so Hamilton and our Province can benefit economically, culturally and environmentally.

Cities with Hamilton's size and growth need appropriate public transit options. Other medium sized cities in Ontario are all planning or have built an LRT system (London, Ottawa, Waterloo, etc). Real estate will only get more expensive to acquire in the future, so building this now is the only thing that makes sense. I realize Hamilton votes NDP, but I hope the Ford government does the mature thing and invests in much needed infrastructure regardless.
