Statement by Vince Franco

The City's LRT plan has $3.4 billion in federal & provincial funding. Show your support for the plan.

Nothing ever gets cheaper so bring LRT now while partial funding is available. Over time, it will pay for itself like all good investments. You don't lose money when you own something sustainable, not to mention it's better for air quality in the city core. Let's not make the mistake of having only BRT - it's a cheap and regressive solution. Think of Hamilton in 2041, not just 2014!

As a journalist I have followed this story for more than 30 years...just like the Linc and Red Hill Expressway which finally got built but costing umpteen million more dollars.
The system in Newcastle Australia, where I recently visited, my husband’s home town, was built in 18 months. We have to start somewhere when it comes to moving this city forward .
