Good morning,
As a resident downtown, and a business owner on King Street East, I support and desire LRT for Hamilton.
The latest motion and deferral have me worried the Hamilton City Council is more interested in playing games with the future of this city, then in showing integrity with past voted and supporting a plan that will bring jobs and economic development to a tired and worn-out city core. LRT is a positive and with the province and MetroLinx on board and footing the 1 billion dollar price tag, I'm confused by actions as of late, especially as city council requested the province fund it, and the province has said they will. At least three times Hamilton City Council has already had this vote and the vote passed.
Please show you have the care and concern for the entire city at heart...not individuals or individual business, not single wards but all of us, and truthfully, more importantly, the future us, as a a community and as a collective whole.

Bad Mulroney Math Used to Justify Cancelling Hamilton LRT
Leaked documents show that our cost is in line with the Hurontario LRT, but Hurontario was approved while Hamilton was killed. We deserve a fair deal.
