Statement by Douglas Goodman
This is a positive step forward. Sometimes council members are swayed by area residents (read "voters") and, unfortunately, it can come down to not what is best for Hamilton, but about re-election. I understand the reluctance of some business owners who feel that their business might be impacted by the construction. I remember this same concern when the Jackson Square project was debated. Now we have a first class hotel and arena. Not to mention Hamilton Place, Convention Center, etc. One day this line will run out to Hamilton Airport linking strategic go stations and Hamilton will become a compliment to Pearson International. This is the first step, let's not trip (pun intended) up.
