Statement by Jo-Anne Ballarano

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

LRT would bring Hamilton on par with other modern Canadian cities- Toronto, Kitchener, Calgary,Edmonton for example. The LRT would provide a necessary east west transit option. If the project is not completed now it will only become increasingly expensive.
LRT will attract forward thinking and entrepreneurial initiatives. It will breathe new hope and life into a tired lower city. The aesthetic component of LRT immediately conjures images of progressive thought and modernity.

Dear Premier Ford,

I am writing to show my support of the long-approved Hamilton LRT transit project. I believe that this has been and will continue to be a transformative investment in both Hamilton and for the Province.

This project was within a few short months of having the RFP’s submitted and has already had so much work completed on it, ie studies, planning, purchasing of properties along the route , that to throw this all away does not make sense.

This province needs you to follow-through and let the RFP’s come in and for this investment to go through to completion.

Respectfully submitted,

Deb Avetissian
