Quite simply, rejecting LRT is a foolish decision for all Hamiltonians, now and in the future. Please, councillors, don't be fools.
Please note: Statements will be sent to the contact list which includes City Council, MPPs, Premier Wynne, and local provincial candidates. These politicians and officials may respond to you via email.
Please just build the LRT. Building for density, better tax revenue, energy efficiency and disaster resiliency is simply keeping pace with the world. We seriously risk falling behind decades economically. Again. We are like the underdog superstar of Canadian Real-Estate right now. We could be the Portland, OR of Ontario.
I think this issue is a sign of our civic low self-esteem. We can be world class. We are in many respects and need to embrace change not recoil. Hamilton RESPECT YOURSELF!
Sincerely,
Brodie Chree
