The next scheduled meeting of Hamilton Light Rail / Transit Users Group has been postponed until Tuesday, August 26.
Due to a last-minute scheduling conflict, the next scheduled Hamilton Light Rail / Transit Users Group meeting will be postponed until Tuesday, August 26. The location is still to be determined.
We apologize for the short notice in announcing this change.
Beyond the obvious benefits to local businesses and freeing up parking lots, I think light rail has real potential to reignite civic pride in Hamilton as a city and a prosperous place to live. Hamilton has the potential to place itself amongst the ranks of Canada's more desirable cities, with its affordable housing stock, excellent regional transit links, and strong and diverse economy. A crucial piece in this puzzle is to break the stigma of Hamilton (which is profound in much of Canada) by taking on this exciting and game-changing task.
