Statement by Deann McGlinchey

I have lived in this wonderful City my entire life, and could not be a more proud Hamiltonian. But I am afraid.

We, as a city and a community, have come so far. We are continually surprising the naysayers, we have achieved so much. But I fear that the impacts of losing out on this LRT opportunity will be so severe, we may not be able to bounce back again.

Now, I don't for a moment believe that we are defined by the LRT. But I know in my heart of hearts that we cannot afford to squander this opportunity. We deserve to see our vibrant neighbourhoods continue to be enhanced and revitalized.

I'm no expert on the matter. I can't regurgitate statistics or reference studies to prove a point. But I do know that with the LRT our community has the potential to see so many positive outcomes that we may not see otherwise.
