Statement by Bryan Webber

Dear Councillors.

I appeal to your broader responsibilities as decision makers for the City of Hamilton.

On Wednesday, June 16, please support the motion to pursue an MOU for LRT in Hamilton.

Yes, there is some level of uncertainty about the precise costs to operate this transit option, however I believe it is safe to say the revenues will cover these expenses for the most part, over and above the infrastructure that gets replaced (so that city infrastructure dollars can be spent elsewhere) and a return to a more reasonable commercial/residential tax ratio.

This is an unthinkably large cash infusion in our city, at a time when it is desperately needed. I would like each of you to remembered for making a strategic decision for the betterment of our whole city on so many fronts, for the benefit of generations that will follow us.

Thank you for reading my note.

Bryan Webber
