Statement by Joseph Liberatore

The construction of this monumental piece of infrastructure is not only a good investment from all levels of government, it's also a spark that will ignite a new era for the City of Hamilton. An era that will see increased investment in the inner City, renewal of existing infrastructure to support growth, better use of infrastructure that'll save tax dollars over the long term, countless opportunities for new businesses to locate in proximity as a result of transit oriented development, reduced emissions from car trips saved, a more safe public realm with a viable alternative to the automobile for the short distance trips in the inner city, and a message to the world that the City of Hamilton is ready to make the gamechanging decisions needed to drive a City forward. This route is a stepping stone to unlocking the full potential of the City, provided the new challenges it will be facing over the next 100 years. Decisions that need to be made will stand the test of time and tell our ancestors just how much we cared to do what was needed to in order to build a better City and a better world.
