Statement by Ryan Plestid
My name is Ryan Plestid and I am a graduate students at McMaster university. It is critical for the province of Ontario to invest in a functional GTHA and outside of Toronto it is my opinion that no project is of greater importance than the Hamilton LRT.
The fact that the corridor currently services WELL over the recommended minimum number of customers along with the incredible potential that exists through the transit corridor make this project an investment as well as an obligation.
The LRT must be the priority for purely business reasons. If it is built the increased property taxes can allow the city to become self-sufficient. It is also of tremendous importance to decrease the uni-directional flow of traffic into and out of Toronto in the GTHA and having rapid transit in Hamilton will both create jobs, and make them accessible to all of those who live in the GTHA.
I will probably be gone from Hamilton when this project is completed but it is of great importance to me that it is completed. This city deserves rapid transit, and Ontario deserves the return on it's investment.
