Statement by Stephanie Ross

Hamilton is on the brink of a vital new stage in its history and in our collective life. LRT is an essential part of Hamilton's renewed economic development and its ability to deliver a high quality of life to its residents that is also environmentally sustainable. We cannot afford to throw away this opportunity to make high quality transit a real alternative for thousands more of our neighbours, and to release the economic dynamics that will have positive spill-over effects for the entire city. Our city council must have the vision to lead, to make this the best LRT system we can devise. The time to debate whether we want LRT or not is over: we need it, and we need to put all our energies into ensuring its benefits are realized. Councillors: Please don't let us down.
