Statement by Ryan Plestid

Hamilton is unique amongst all southwestern Ontario cities in that its geography and history have lead to a dense linear corridor between the lake and the escarpment (bounded by McMaster on the West and the Red Hill Valley to the east). This "linear density" makes Hamilton better suited for LRT than nearly any other city in North America.

To see Hamilton grow and prosper we need dedicated rapid transit along this corridor, and eventually in the rest of the city.

Hamilton is one of the poorest cities in Canada, and equitable transit access should absolutely be a top consideration. LRT achieves this more than any other investment could

LRT is good for the poor, it's good for big business, its good for commuters, and it's good for the environment.
