The Hamilton Chamber of Commerce knows Hamilton is ready for LRT.

Here are a few facts on Hamilton LRT:

#1: We’ve already spent $105 million on LRT. Cancelling LRT means wasting hard earned tax dollars. Proceeding with LRT means respecting taxpayer dollars.

#2: There’s a reason the Canadian Urban Institute estimates $81.6 million in increased city revenue over the next 15 years from B-Line LRT. That’s because LRT means development – which means increased tax revenue and citywide benefits.

#3: There has been a 500% increase in new residential units in the downtown core over the past 6 years. Increased supply is an important component of housing affordability.
