Statement by Cathy McPherson
Fulfilling our commitments and investing in the future:
Our council has voted over 70 times to implement the LRT system and the last municipal election had people voting in favour of implementing this initiative. To stop this initiative now would create the impression to those who wish to invest in our city that we are unable to follow through on our commitments.
Kitchener Waterloo has put in place their own LRT system which has attracted billions of dollars to that city. We need an LRT to: reduce pollution in our downtown core and to attract jobs and investment to our city after Covid is over. These jobs and investments benefit everyone in our city no matter where they live and are particularly important to young people in our community.
We also need this initiative to address the aging infrastructure such as sewage and water systems under our roads which in the past has led to sewage flooding into Cootes Paradise. Let’s get moving on this project!!
