Statement by Rick Calder
Lately I've been seeing a number of news reports on Hamilton's growth. A report last week about the number of condominiums the city has and that supply can't keep up with demand. A report just this morning about the rising and outrageous housing costs in Toronto and how that's impacting Hamilton's growth.
This city is prime real estate and as Toronto grows and becomes more and more expensive Hamilton will grow more and more desirable as a home and a place to start new business.
Our current transit is a joke. I have taken the HSR most of my life and trust me when I say that. It's slow, uncomfortable and can barely handle the traffic it has now let alone in the future with the expected growth.
This is the time for council to understand that Hamilton is not a steel town any more and we're on the cusp of becoming a truly great city. Don't handcuff us with terrible transit. More loud, uncomfortable and environmentally unfriendly buses is not the solution.
