Statement by Robyn Sifton

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

Hamilton needs to be a progressive city and I firmly believe the Lrt project will bring in progressive minds to the city to further economic success. This city was built around cars, but times are changing and it doesnt make sense to stick with a system that is slowly being derouted anyway. Fossil fuels are an energy source of the past and I stand alongside those pushing for a better public transportation system.

Cities with Hamilton's size and growth need appropriate public transit options. Other medium sized cities in Ontario are all planning or have built an LRT system (London, Ottawa, Waterloo, etc). Real estate will only get more expensive to acquire in the future, so building this now is the only thing that makes sense. I realize Hamilton votes NDP, but I hope the Ford government does the mature thing and invests in much needed infrastructure regardless.
