Statement by Carolyn Kinsley

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

Downtown Hamilton needs light-rail transit. The rest of the city needs improved bus transit. The two should not be pitted against each other. Obviously improved bus transit could be up and running faster than constructing LRT, but LRT needs a firm route and funding commitment ASAP to provide certainty to developers interested in the corridor. Hamilton needs the kind of economic boost demonstrated by LRT in the Region of Waterloo, and certainty is key.

Please reopen this funding for the Hamilton LRT. We now more than ever need job creation and a connection for our city that the LRT will provide.
The cost was not was it seemed the real numbers are speaking the truth !
The land is purchased let's make an effort and do what was promised and make the LRT a reality.
