Concerns relating to a project this size is to be expected. I believe the benefits in years to come far outweigh the short term pain during the construction phase. If council scuttles this project I fear Hamilton will be the laughingstock of all Canada. One billion down the drain as well as future economic benefits of joining the 21st century.

Dear Premier Ford,
I am writing to show my support of the long-approved Hamilton LRT transit project. I believe that this has been and will continue to be a transformative investment in both Hamilton and for the Province.
This project was within a few short months of having the RFP’s submitted and has already had so much work completed on it, ie studies, planning, purchasing of properties along the route , that to throw this all away does not make sense.
This province needs you to follow-through and let the RFP’s come in and for this investment to go through to completion.
Respectfully submitted,
Deb Avetissian
