Statement by Joel Arndt

LRT has a way of uniting a city.

Quick transit between Downtown and East Hamilton opens opportunity for business collaboration. It lets people consider travelling to the edges of the city for events or for an afternoon outing. Even those of us with cars would consider an LRT trip over driving because it eliminates the search for parking and navigatin Hamilton's confusing tangle of one-ways.

The prospect of LRT is already drawing investment. There is a recently formed company buying property called "Light Rail Living." There is only one obvious reason their money is spent in Hamilton.

I say the construction headaches are woth it. We'll figure it out. Hamilton has healthy communities. We can rally together and make the construction dance something more entertaing and less depressing.

To Hamilton Council, please figure this out. Make sure we get LRT. Let's not waste such a massive gift to future Hamilton.

Thank-you,
Joel Arndt

P.S. It's not just a gift to the future, but to ourselves as well. Even though this is a huge project, we will all get to enjoy its benefits. We just need to hold on to the vision of the finished result (new infrastructure and economic boost).
