Statement by Chris Schotsman

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

I strongly believe we need to move forward on LRT now. I travel all over the world and North America. I've seen and used LRT systems in Europe, SanDiego, Seattle, Minneapolis, Jerusalem to name a few. It's a great solution for today's urban realities, and a great solution for city of Hamilton's size.
I'd also like to eventually see an LRT connection between the mountain and downtown (not a new concept) - the city is growing south RAPIDLY.

As a business operator along the proposed LRT corridor we chose our location based on the LRT plan and were eagerly a anticipating how LRT would better connect our city. I urge the provincial government to uphold their commitment to LRT in Hamilton so that Hamilton's transportation system can move into the 21st century and away from packed buses on terrible road surfaces.
