Listen to Nicholas Kevlahan being interviewed by Mike Nabuurs from Talk Radio 820 AM in Hamilton.
Having LRT lines in Hamilton would benefit everyone, update our inefficient transportation infrastructure, and in the long run, save the city money.
The economic spinoffs other cities such as Los Angeles, Portland, Washington DC, Charlotte, Denver and even Toronto have proven that more investment, building, and intensification happen along these lines, with a benefit to all socio-economic stratas.
For Hamilton to lose this opportunity would be regressive and make people that are finally noticing how great a city this is to think twice.
