Statement by Greg Schultz

Please approve the MOU. Hamilton has been offered a fully funded light rail! Hamilton is a sprawling city. When I moved here 15 years ago and was attending McMaster university I also transferred to a starbucks store near Millen in Stoney creek. I almost dropped out of my nursing program and I blame in part the commute. While living near Gage park, my commute was an hour in each direction with several transfers. This system has not changed, if anything it is worse. Buses are aging, population is growing. Investment in the future of this city is needed. Please don’t be short sighted or focused on this election cycle. Consider the needs of the population, and the future inhabitants of this city. More public transit and environmentally friendly solutions need to be adopted. More investment in infrastructure needs to happen. Stop focusing on new mega housing developments for the rich and start focusing on the people who really need your attention, public housing, public transportation, healthcare. The inner city may be gentrifying but areas are crumbling. Thank you for your time.
