Statement by Leslie Klodt

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

As a proud Hamiltonian. I am thankful to the province for providing Hamilton the funding to take out remarkable city to the next level. LRT will help Hamilton in our journey to become the best place to raise a family, but the best place for all citizens. The LRT is absolutely necessary as we welcome both young people to our centres of education, and as our population ages. It is a boon to all Hamiltonians, both those who live on the Mountain, as I do, and those who live downtown.

It is time for our politicians to stand on the side of Hamilton's progress, and to help our city to become even more. I hope I can count on you to support the LRT in Hamilton.

Cities with Hamilton's size and growth need appropriate public transit options. Other medium sized cities in Ontario are all planning or have built an LRT system (London, Ottawa, Waterloo, etc). Real estate will only get more expensive to acquire in the future, so building this now is the only thing that makes sense. I realize Hamilton votes NDP, but I hope the Ford government does the mature thing and invests in much needed infrastructure regardless.
