I am concerned that the cancellation of the LRT will set Hamilton public transit back for years to come. I doubt that the money earmarked for LRT will be put into public transit.
LRT cancellation also makes it more difficult for Hamilton to address climate change since it removes a source of relatively clean public transit.

LRT is essential for Hamilton. It’s unlikely I will use it much, being a rural resident, however an investment in progressive public transit is an investment in my stake as a citizen of Binbrook/Hamilton.
