Statement by David Wootton
As an Ontario taxpayer, I feel that the very best solution for my hard-earned money is to complete the L R T in Hamilton as planned!!! I feel that the Government of Ontario has, as usual, been totally unfair to Hamilton over the last 60 years of my observation in many ways. You are spending over $ 9B for Ottawa's L R T and untold billions for Toronto's. Meanwhile, Hamilton has been criticized for not providing the homes and economic possibilities for the millions of new immigrants who choose to live in Ontario. I cannot think of a better way to beat Hamilton's 50 years of misfortunes at the hands of senior governments - free trade is and example that devastated our city. Meanwhile,, King St is beginning to look worse than Barton St with all of the boarded-up structures and billions of dollars of potential high-rise homes are still on the drawing boards or completely abandoned. i have been following this closely for 10 years and I have seen a disastrous downturn in construction downtown recently. Even $ 500 M of already started construction projects have been stalled since December.
I would also well recommend building the L R T from the airport to downtown as soon as possible. As a frequent traveller, I am absolutely tired of Pearson Airport and its horrible congestion and delays. 2 000 000 need Hamilton's airport on this side of Toronto
