Statement by John Thompson
March 6, 2020
To whom it may concern:
As a Hamilton taxpayer, I am a strong LRT supporter and want to see the project reinstated at once. It has been proven in many other cities in Canada and the US that LRT is welcomed by transit riders as it is smooth, quiet and clean, as in Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto. Also, Hamilton is in dire need of resulting development. I do not want to see the large amount of money already invested in LRT to be wasted. It is apparent that the figures quoted for construction and operating expenses of our LRT are greatly excessive. Given that the Federal Government has offered to fund the difference, I strongly urge that this offer be taken up, and political rivalries side tracked in the interests of civic progress in Hamilton. It could be a wonderful legacy for the Ford and Trudeau governments, working co-operatively for the greater good. Hamilton, wants, and deserves, LRT NOW.
