Statement by Anne and Gordon Howarth

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

We were shocked and dismayed to hear of the cancellation of promised LRT funding for our great city. There has been many hours of preparations and cost already committed to this much required transportation project.
Hamilton needs this LRT to support transportation links between Stoney Creek and the Westdale area. The LRT will provide highly improved access; for health care, educational opportunities and jobs in the city core as well as other Greater GTA areas. IT IS 2020! Let's keep this much needed and promised future thinking transportation project!

Hey I very frequently take HSR from DUNDAS to Hamilton General Hospital for work. I very much support the light rail initiative.
My son had an accident last year and was wheelchair bound for 6 months - thankfully recovering now. It really shone a light on what life is like for people who use wheelchairs and mobility issues. LRT would be a massive help as they board at the same level as the vehicle, no more driver assisted ramp requirements, or only 2 wheelchair capacity like most busses have.
You can definitely tell from how people voted in Ward 13 for Mayoral election - we voted overwhelmingly for mayors who support LRT.
