Statement by Marnie Stout
Definitely in support of the LRT project, in spite of living in rural Hamilton. Certainly would be great to catch the train at McMaster and get to the East end of the city sans car....far faster than the bus, or car...no traffic or parking worries. Although many retailers are wailing about lost business revenue, I would suggest that they have a look at the Pearl District in Portland, or downtown Salt Lake, which has a ride free zone around the convention area. Buffalo NY has had the Metro Rail since 1984. Hop on hop off works well in European city centres, catering to tourists and locals alike. I would suggest Hamiltonians against LRT read Death and Life of Great American Cities, by Jane Jacobs.
