Statement by John Boddy
My wife and I strongly support an LRT system in Hamilton. The initial line on King street should be seen as only the first leg of a multi-line LRT across the city and suburbs.
LRT's have been shown to have far lower costs per rider than buses, and should save the city money.
Since the province has legislated much higher population density in urban hubs such as Hamilton, we will need the LRT to accommodate this density.
LRT has been shown to work in many cities around the world - we are not the first ! Therer is no need to delay or vote against a well tried and proven transportation system.
How can the city turn down a billion dollar offer from the province, one that will help us cope with the much higher population desnity that is coming to Hamilton whether we want it or not.
