Statement by Collin Polos

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

We should seriously consider shortening the LRT and using the money we'd save by expanding HSR service in the suburbs. We could be using the city-owned properties at the Queenston Circle and the beautiful and historic Auchmar at Fennel & West 5th as Transit Terminals between the LRT and an upgraded suburban HSR system. This seems to be a balanced approach that will bring an Urban LRT line to Hamilton as well as an expanded and upgraded suburban HSR system at no extra costs. This will provide more service to more people!

Cities with Hamilton's size and growth need appropriate public transit options. Other medium sized cities in Ontario are all planning or have built an LRT system (London, Ottawa, Waterloo, etc). Real estate will only get more expensive to acquire in the future, so building this now is the only thing that makes sense. I realize Hamilton votes NDP, but I hope the Ford government does the mature thing and invests in much needed infrastructure regardless.
