Statement by Tom Brown

I know you all don't need another citizen preaching about the lost opportunity it will be to lose the LRT funding, but come on. Let's rip the band-aid off and move along. It will be a challenging 5-7 years ahead, but once the LRT is complete, we can allow areas that are currently efficiently inaccessible to turn into vibrant, welcoming communities. Imagine a financially advanced resident of westdale being able to seriously consider using transit to get downtown or to a Ticats game. What if students at Mac wanted to live downtown, or maybe rent a much more reasonable dwelling in central or east hamilton? Rail transit is the future and we all know it. What we don't know is wether or not council will have the courage to stand up and fight for Hamilton's future.
