Statement by Olivia Divinski

For the future of our amazing growing City I would love to see the LRT go through. We need to be progressive with our thinking and the LRT will bring our great City into a new realm of economic development and growth. I would like the City council to approve this. I was born and raised in this amazing City and I love to brag about our future, but other Cities look down on us. If a City like Kitchener can move forward with LRT then Hamilton can and should move forward as well. Lets not let 1 Billion go to waste, especially from Ms.Wynne.

I do feel that the LRT should be extended right to Eastgate Square to serve our Stoney Creek neighbours. I live off the back of Greenhill and I would prefer to take one bus to Nash and Queenston Road and hop on the LRT then another bus to the traffic circle.

Once again we need to consider the future and make sure this goes through and is built properly the first time and not decide ten years down the Road at taxpayers expense to expand. Please consider the disaster of the Redhill which was developed over 30 years ago and does not fit our current traffic situation.

I do not believe that it will affect the few businesses/or small malls along Queenstown Road as there is numerous entrances into those places. But there is numerous buildings with thousands of people that could benefit the use of the LRT.

I currently have a daughter at McMaster University and she has to take three different buses to get to school as I am sure many other students do as well. Please consider our future generations.

If certain councillors can't see the future of our great City then it is time to move along.

I will not vote for my councillor if he does not help push this through.

Please pass this for the greater good of our amazing City.

Thank you
Olivia Divinski
