Statement by Robyn Sifton

I love my city. I love exploring my city. Hamilton is beautiful and has so many different cultural pockets in many different areas around the landscape. By ignoring the lrt project, it not only dissolves the image of Hamilton as a popular and even tourist city, it puts us behind cities that have already transitioned into better transportational services. I've used hsr all my life. Increasing fares for users without justification is kind of sly. If increasing the fare is mandatory, I would love to see where the money is actually going. If we had more drivers, or more frequent buses, improved bus shelters, the list goes on- maybe I would endorse paying more. However, I digress, improving hsr is only a fragment of what should be done for Hamilton. It makes me wonder if things get shut down in Hamilton because of internal interests, or if city councillors just don't want to see Hamilton get ahead.
