Statement by Elysee Nouvet

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

Dear democratic Representatives,
I am writing to mark my hope that the Province invests much more intensely in non-gasoline transportation options in the Hamilton area. The LRT is one of the proposed initiatives on the table. I would be equally satisfied personally with major investment in bike lanes and with provincial push for fast train in Windsor-Quebec corridor. Our reliance on the car is a national embarassment. Let's make some strides towards modernizing the Canadian and provincial transportation system please!

Thank you!

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.
