Statement by Matteo Pietraccini
I live in Hamilton. I was born here as well. I've spent enough time in other, larger (and smaller), more (and less) metropolitan cities than Hamilton to know that all of them work better with a well-planned LRT system as the backbone of their public transit system, supported by a robust and well-planned bus network.
Hamilton needs LRT for one major factor alone: we have no more room for roads at the rate we are growing unless we wish to commit to a major redevelopment of a huge portion of our city instead of a major development to a relatively small part of the city that will have massive positive repercussions for decades to come.
Hamilton is part of the backbone of Ontario's economy. As the third largest city in Ontario, Hamilton plays a vital role in Ontario's economy. Hamilton's growth means Ontario's growth.
Please restore the LRT project.
