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

Statement by Andrea Costantini

It is amazingly backward that we're even debating the issue of accepting a billion dollars in infrastructure funding for LRT. Hamilton needs to shift toward more sustainable, intensified development - it can't afford not to. We have to stop dumping our money in car-focused infrastructure that is too expensive to maintain and forces us to lay more and more of the burden on too few taxpayers. We have to move toward planning and strategy that leads to better returns on our tax dollar investments and divides the burden among more people and attracts the companies of the 21st century. This should be a no brainer! Show some courage and foresight and stop thinking about appeasing the 10-15% of the electorate that gets you elected.
