Statement by Jeff Tessier

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

I strongly encourage Council to move forward with Metrolinx in the construction of a provincially-funded light rail transit system for Hamilton. The B-Line will be the solid foundation on which a compete system servicing the entire city will be built. It seems likely that if we turn away now there won't be another chance to secure this level of funding for Hamilton Transit.

The Hamilton LRT is an important part of the cities growth. Today with housing affordability being the issue that it is, many people are commuting around more over moving. I truly believe that stopping this project will only hinder Hamilton's economic growth and project in less tax revenue for Ontario.
