Statement by Jocelyn Weatherbe
If we are to save any farmland in the fruitful Niagara Peninsula we have to build denser urban neighbourhoods. The LRT will service those areas and encourage economic development in them. This will benefit the whole city in increased tax base and a more robust economy.
I have lived in both Calgary and Vancouver and enjoyed the travel flexibility of the SkyTrain,the rapid transit metropolitan rail system of Greater Vancouver, and Calgary's LRT. They are almost universally considered a vast improvement over transit before they were built even by former detractors.
LRT is a positive and progressive idea whose time has come.
