Statement by Michael Champagne

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

Please don't sideline this program. Be truley progressive, Toronto is bursting and broken with over population and under infrastructure. Hamilton is poised to become a global megalopolis with the spill over from Toronto. Be proactive and invite the torrent of frustrated Torontonians with an ahead of the game approach to rapid transit. Buses are not comfortable, the bang crash, bump on every pothole with their stiff suspension, the windows clang and clatter with every bump or breeze, you get whiplash every time they pull over to pick someone up. Trains are beautiful to ride on and beautiful to see.

Dear Premier Ford,

I am writing to show my support of the long-approved Hamilton LRT transit project. I believe that this has been and will continue to be a transformative investment in both Hamilton and for the Province.

This project was within a few short months of having the RFP’s submitted and has already had so much work completed on it, ie studies, planning, purchasing of properties along the route , that to throw this all away does not make sense.

This province needs you to follow-through and let the RFP’s come in and for this investment to go through to completion.

Respectfully submitted,

Deb Avetissian
