Statement by Peter Hutton
It is extrremely disappointing that local officials at all levels have not been able to cut through the political and bureaucratic obstacles at the provincial level to getting LRT done Any project dragged out this long will run into problems and plays into the hands of the nay-sayers.
Clearly we need to invest in all forms of transit as an essential part of our infrastructure to support new and renewed econoimic developme
Council has it right - we need both expanded Go and we need to begin to build sensible LRT to meet the needs of existing riders as well as those who would make the choice, but can't because the existing HSR us overwhelmed.with existing passengers
Mayor Bratina, you are wrong Expanded GO alone will not help the economic development of Hamilton as it will take people to the jobs that exist in Toronto, and it will take decades to really reverse that trend. But staged LRT and GO as the money comes available can make that change faster. It doesn't take a million people and honestly I hope that Hamilton never reaches that point
