Statement by Erin Mallon

I am 100% in support of a Hamilton LRT. This mode of public transportation has proven to be successful around the world. The cost of not building this infrastructure now will cost the city, taxpayers, visitors and the province billions more in the future. There is no other comparable option. Electric busses will not draw people to the area, and more roads are a huge step backwards. Choosing LRT is showing that the city of Hamilton is serious about taking action to mitigate climate change and supporting local businesses on a pedestrian friendly route. An LRT will see density infill in the lower city. It’s success will lead to LRT on the mountain and other congested areas of the city. Choose LRT or nothing. Every other option is a waste of time and money.
