Statement by Barry Diacon

Premier Wynne et al,
I am very supportive of the building of LRT in Hamilton. Every day I ride an HSR bus to get to my work at McMaster University. I see first hand the high numbers of people travelling along this King Street route. Many is the time that a full bus passes by our stop at Queen St. without stopping because it is already full to overflowing. Meanwhile I see enrolment of students dropping in our downtown schools while new housing continues to be built in the far reaches of the City, creating the pressure to build new sewers, roads, schools, etc. All of this density could be easily accommodated within the lower City of Hamilton. Building the LRT will encourage the development of this density that will increase the overall efficiency of our economy and the financial stability of Hamilton.
