Statement by Klaas Walma
LRT has so many upsides not just for the downtown but for Hamilton as a whole and the entire planet.
It will spur development downtown which will in turn increase the city's tax base. It will provide easy access to most of the lower city without adding to traffic. It will increase foot traffic for merchants along the route. That will not only increase employment and tax revenues, it will also increase property values and attract new residents to Hamilton's lower city. Finally, the reduction in cars on lower city streets will help Hamilton, the province and the country reduce GHG emission thus mitigating climate change.
