Statement by Arvind Singh
As the implementation and construction phase of LRT draws closer, a few members of Council will get jittery nerves and butterflies in the stomach. This is understandable because LRT is huge infrastructure project for our City, the most impactful project for generations. LRT as numerous studies show, including those by Metrolinx, McMaster and those by the City of Hamilton, will have a remarkable ROI and the potential to unleash economic and urban vitality to our City.
As LRT is fully funded by the province, which has made transit an important priority, Hamilton Councillors can champion LRT while assured of funding by the province. So I would offer Council the same advice that I took when I married my beautiful wife: It's alright to have butterflies but the wedding has been planned, you've made the commitment and renewed it many times, and the arrangements have been made and paid for by your parent.
The wedding is planned,funded and the invitations have been sent. Now is the time to move forward even with
butterflies.
