Statement by Florence Roullet
I came from France about 11 years ago to live in Hamilton. In my hometown, Nantes, when I was a student they re-opened an old LRT line (existing from my Grand'ma's times) and build an additional new line. At the same time city made a point on making the city centre a real nightmare for cars (one way streets, european record for number of roundabouts, etc.) which at first everybody (including me) complained about. Ten years later, people in Nantes are so proud of their LRT system (tramway) that is the most convenient, fastest, cheapest way to travel to the city center. My GrandMa now 95 takes it for her daily groceries. A tram is coming every 3 minutes and you never have to wait or find a completely filled train at rush hour. Much more efficient than bus and much more environmental friendly too. I have witnessed and experienced this change. It has been taking place in other cities in France such as Bordeaux and now Dijon. Hamilton is a great city and should definitively go this (LRT) way.
