Statement by Rob Parsons

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

Dear Hamilton City Council and Queen's Park:

I have been reading with concern and disappointment about the recent and renewed controversy and debate regarding the Metrolinx Hamilton LRT plan. I am concerned and disappointed because I thought Hamilton City Council had received and considered the advice from City staff, independent consultants, academia, and even the provincial government, and approved proceeding with LRT in Hamilton. I supported this outcome and I believe LRT will be a positive development for Hamilton, as do the above stakeholders. Now some Hamilton City Councillors want to reopen the debate!?? Enough! Let's do this Hamilton!

As a business operator along the proposed LRT corridor we chose our location based on the LRT plan and were eagerly a anticipating how LRT would better connect our city. I urge the provincial government to uphold their commitment to LRT in Hamilton so that Hamilton's transportation system can move into the 21st century and away from packed buses on terrible road surfaces.
