Statement by Jeremy FReiburger

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

I really don't understand why we're even debating this anymore. Our urban core is densifying. I can see 5 condo projects from my office window. We know that all of these people are not going to drive, and that effective and efficient transit is a must have to support growth.

Hamilton has to stop thinking of itself as a city stuck in 1950. We're moving on folks and its time fro modern public transit.

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.
