Statement by Jeffrey Taylor

The City's LRT plan has $3.4 billion in federal & provincial funding. Show your support for the plan.

Lets get this thing going for heavens sake, if it takes much longer I'll get my shovel and start it myself, I've seen LRT's in the UK, Dublin & Europe and they work, PERIOD!
I'm happy to pay a few dollars more in taxes from my seniors pension for the honour of making Hamilton a first class city, heck we were quite happy talking about shoveling snow from our sidewalks and paying for the pleasure, I'm happy to swap, you give the city an LRT & I'll shovel my snow, and I'm 75! I may never need to use the LRT, living on the West mountain, but hundreds of thousands of others will, and it's them & the future of the city I'm thinking of, please give us the project approval before I take the big golden LRT ride in the sky, I want to see the city finish the project before I take that ride!

Please support making Hamilton's shovel ready LRT project a catalyst for post-COVID economic revitalization!

One of the main arguments for LRT has always been its ability to massively boost Hamilton's economy both during the 3-5 year construction period and during the lifetime of the project.

Now, more than ever, Hamilton needs the thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars of local investment LRT construction will provide. The project is ready to go: we were just waiting for the final bids to come in when the project was paused in December.

The federal government has expressed willingness to fund Hamilton's LRT and federal funding will make the project even more affordable to the Province and the City.

Please ensure all levels of government work together to build LRT. We need it now more than ever!

Regards,

Nicholas Kevlahan
