Statement by Miranda Lee
It's time to let Hamilton grow up to be the city it's becoming. Light Rail is good for business and good for the environment. A more accessible, more densely populated urban centre yields exponentially more in tax revenue than sprawl. Our city is gaining traction as a place you can come and start your dream business, be movers and shakers, and saying no to an opportunity like this is saying that Hamilton is not that kind of city, but is a city stuck in the mindset of urban decline. Downtown is the hub of the suburbs and should not be treated as a no-man's land any more! Hamilton has highways to get you from one end of town to the other at high speeds. We don't need our arterial roads to be mini-highways; we need them to be filled with shops that supply the not only goods and services but also jobs and tax revenue.
Please, saying no to LRT is saying no to a thriving Hamilton.
