I was extremely disappointed when I learned that the city council was cooling on the idea of light rail in Hamilton in favor of pursuing all day GO service.
I don't understand why the two are mutually exclusive. All day GO service is fine for people who live in Hamilton, but work elsewhere, but the LRT is about re-vitalizing the city and creating jobs in Hamilton.

As a business operator along the proposed LRT corridor we chose our location based on the LRT plan and were eagerly a anticipating how LRT would better connect our city. I urge the provincial government to uphold their commitment to LRT in Hamilton so that Hamilton's transportation system can move into the 21st century and away from packed buses on terrible road surfaces.
