Statement by Rita Bailey
I have lived in downtown Hamilton for twenty years and I love this city. I believe an east-west LRT system will transform the city, making it an even better place to live and work.
Any project like this requires some pain. It's like renovating a house. You live with the inconvenience, the noise, the dust, the disruption to your daily routine, muttering and grumbling. When it is finally over you get to enjoy the benefits of that inconvenience for years to come.
I would urge all councillors to realize that cities are changing. The car is no longer king. Young people want more from their city than highways and more cars in their driveway. We have many highways throughout Hamilton. It's time we had a sustainable and innovative transit system.
