Statement by Cory Serratore

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

As a recent migrant from suburbia (Burlington), and a previous resident of Calgary, a city that has benefitted from LRT, I request funding the Ten Year Strategy and the Rapid Ready LRT plan. The status quo car-oriented suburban development plan is not a sustainable strategy for a city on the cusp of urban renewal. An investment in a modern urban transit initiative is essential to the development of Hamilton as a city center and viable counter point to the unmitigated Toronto suburban sprawl. The economic and lifestyle benefits will extend to the entire golden horshoe.

I completely support the new Hamilton LRT plan and urge Hamilton City Council to endorse it with the overwhelming majority vote it deserves. I am pleased to see the unwavering support of all the city's anchor institutions. The benefits will accrue to our environment and to all the residents of the City of Hamilton, not just downtown residents. I hope Hamilton will live up to its aspiration as an ambitious city by seizing this one-time opportunity.
