Statement by Grant Ranalli
I am a huge supporter of LRT in Hamilton. Studies here and in other cities have clearly shown that light rail will alleviate any transit congestion we have now and into the future(read: B Line) and also produce economic spin-offs that will help to revitalize the downtown core and stimulate development along the B and A line routes.
How a city could turn its back on a significant chunk of provincial funding is beyond me. All day GO service is long, long overdue but it is independent - or perhaps even and integral part of an overall sustainable transit plan the MUST include LRT. Let's get moving - sooner rather than later - or we will end up in the dust while other municipalities (Kitchener/Waterloo) grab the brass ring while we are left standing at the platform as technology and innovation bypass those who hesitate.
