Statement by Mark Rejhon

Hello,

Here are photos of economic development booming DURING LRT construction in Kitchener-Waterloo:

On this construction tour, I met the mayors of Kitchener and Waterloo (Berry Vrbanovic and Dave Jaworsky), and Cambridge MPP Kathryn McGarry.

They explained and showed off the benefits of their LRT, and the good face they're putting on during construction. I took many photos for the article linked above.

..."Just like Google expanding in Kitchener-Waterloo thanks in part to the LRT, we have companies such as IBM expanding in Hamilton also thanks in part to our LRT and more companies will be coming to Hamilton. Our beautiful city must not give up the pursuit of our LRT to help us economically succeed, as our LRT doubles as both transit and economic development."

The economic boom in Kitchener-Waterloo caused by the LRT, even while it is under construction, is quite incredible.

Sincerely,
Mark D. Rejhon

Dear Premier Ford,

I am writing to show my support of the long-approved Hamilton LRT transit project. I believe that this has been and will continue to be a transformative investment in both Hamilton and for the Province.

This project was within a few short months of having the RFP’s submitted and has already had so much work completed on it, ie studies, planning, purchasing of properties along the route , that to throw this all away does not make sense.

This province needs you to follow-through and let the RFP’s come in and for this investment to go through to completion.

Respectfully submitted,

Deb Avetissian
