As a new resident to Hamilton from Toronto, I know firsthand how incredibly beneficial to both residents and business owners an LRT can be and the potential for growth and attraction to Hamilton it can create. Easier access to a city's businesses and downtown core is so vital - look at how it is developing Toronto! I am very excited about Hamilton's LRT plan.

The system in Newcastle Australia, where I recently visited, my husband’s home town, was built in 18 months. We have to start somewhere when it comes to moving this city forward .
