As a west Hamilton resident and downtown Hamilton business owner and investor, I have taken a keen interest in LRT from the outset.
I have done my research and weighed the options and strongly feel LRT is the only solution for sustainable transit and development as we move forward, not only as a city, but as a province.
Hamilton is on the verge of special things. A renewed core ... a changing economy ... opportunity ... prosperity. BUT, we cannot afford to do this half-way. We need investment. 100% investment. It was promised. It needs to be delivered. The studies and assessments have been completed. I attended public consultations. The time is now.
Together, we can do this.
