Statement by Rick Beauchamp

I listened with interest to the data and information provided by the delegate from Washington,D.C., concerning the experience in that community and several others who have made an investment in LRT. Based on experiences in several other jursidictions, it would appear that strong evidence exists to demonstrate the positive economic spin-offs that LRT can initiate.

Clearly, no singlular action can be the panacea to resolve the economic travails of this community - but - LRT represents a progressive and dynamic element which could produce substantial benefits to this community.

I urge city councellors to be thoughful, strategic, and bold. Surely there are broader advantages to be realized from this initiative in comparison to the narrower benefits that might derive through investment in a velodrome!

If finite dollars dictate the need to prioritize, count me in support of LRT 1st!
