Statement by Kevin Van Hartingsveldt

I support a LRT system in Hamilton because:
- LRT is much more efficient & sophisticated than buses.
- The expansion of the GO rail into Hamilton is more a question of 'when' than 'if' ... the (provincial) money will come for this regardless of the LRT decision.
- Municipal & provincial government have already promised LRT to Hamilton ... so this is money that is already available.
- LRT could be a catalyst in changing Hamilton from a city of untapped potential into a vibrant & current metropolis.
- While funding Hamilton's LRT won't fix the overspending & misdirection of funds in our province, it is at least a sensible place for earmarked monies to go.
- The proposed B-line will start the upgrade of public transit in Hamilton, and will make us less dependent on automobiles in our communities ... hopefully with eventual expansions in lower, & possibly even upper, Hamilton.
