Statement by James Butchert

The City's LRT plan has $3.4 billion in federal & provincial funding. Show your support for the plan.

Hamilton has all the makings of a world class city including a good sized international airport, a busy sea port and access to major highways to both the USA border and the rest of the province.

Installing an LRT system in the city of Hamilton would be the next logical step in bringing our city into a greater economical and environmentally friendly future.

I am in FULL support of an LRT system for the city.

Hi Doug,

We’ve met before. Back in 2014 I ran into you and your late brother in front of BMO field before a TFC game. The two of you were very friendly, Rob even gave me his card. I believed that you were in politics for the people. That is until I saw the news that the LRT in Hamilton was cancelled. You’ve taken away a great opportunity for my city. This transit line would bring jobs and economic growth to a city that sorely needs it. Please reconsider this decision and help support our city.

Sincerely,

Aaron Bennett
