As a former Torontonian who also lived for 4 years in Berlin, Germany I am here to attest to the importance for HAMILTON LIGHT RAIL to be secured once and for all.
I am your rider and I have first hand experience as such to ask you to listen to what has already been proven in other brave cities. LRT IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR HAMILTON ONTARIO, CANADA.

In my opinion I find Toronto's streetcars pale in comparison to Berlin's light rail.

The pulse of the light rail riders is different as I experienced in Berlin.
There was no stigma surrounding riding public transit with the Berlin light rail. Rush hour had lady's in Prada, business men in Gucci sitting next to teens with skateboards who spoke traditionally too loud accompanied by a lot of "F" bombs.

LRT is a modern inclusive way for urban residents to move thru their daily lives. I have no doubt that for the entirety of Hamiltonians this opportunity of inclusivity would benefit some of our concerns of exclusion as we all take the journey with gentrification.

Change is Good. It Sharpens our Curiosity.

Barbara
