Statement by Alexandra Mazza

I believe that it is an absolute disgrace that this project was halted at this point. While driving (as a passenger) along the route yesterday it was so obvious how much property has been bought and boarded by Metrolinx in preparation for building the LRT. How can Metrolinx expect to recoup the cost as its value must now be considerably less than they paid? It will take many, many years for redevelopment and in the meantime Hamilton lost much needed low rental housing.
Ontario taxpayers have paid for the ugly streetscape. Wasted tax money. But Hamiltonians have to live with this.
