Living in Dundas it is apparent that we need to unite Metro Hamilton, and the bus lines aren't enough. This first LRT line will do this, in part, and the next investment should be towards uniting upper Hamilton with the main city with LRT. The LRT can be more efficient, easier for handicapped people, and seniors, and environmentally friendly. WHY are our councilors not embracing the huge Provincial investment, and not tying it down to our plans?
The LRT puts our Metropolis in the 21st Century for our community, our tourist trade, our businesses. It returns our City to the stature it once had and is gaining again through its community members investments, not so much through City Council leadership..... There are a few exceptions. It is time for the Councilors to step up, and quit playing politics, but rather do what is best for our City!

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back on LRT
Candidates at both levels need to hear loud and clear that you support LRT and you expect the Province and City to keep their promises and finish building this thing.
Continue with Current LRT Procurement Model
Hamilton Light Rail (HLR) urges City Council to continue with the current Light Rail Transit (LRT) procurement model that Council already accepted under the Memorandum of Agreement with Metrolinx on February 10, 2016.
You made this happen!
Dundas Councillor Arlene VanderBeek best captured the spirit of last night's historic Council vote for the LRT project: "If you're not sure, err on the side of progress."
