Larger cities such as Hamilton and Toronto need a way to travel efficiently across the city. Hamilton DOES NOT have such a system. the HSR bus system is not efficient and barely covers that need.
Hamilton needs a LRT system, not just in the lower city, but also in the upper city and travelling between the lower and upper areas of the city.

The Hamilton LRT is an important part of the cities growth. Today with housing affordability being the issue that it is, many people are commuting around more over moving. I truly believe that stopping this project will only hinder Hamilton's economic growth and project in less tax revenue for Ontario.
