Raise the Hammer

"Why do you think people are investing in King Street, if you insist that LRT will be unsuccessful? You can't have it both ways."

RIGHT NOW WITH THE HOPES OF RESELLING THEIR INVESTMENTS TO THE CITY. Clearly properties have risen by the local developers buying up buildings to make a profit. If any one of these investors know where the bumpouts are to be then their expropriated properties become more valuable to sell back. Really how naive can some people be ?

"This is another of your repeated false facts that has no bearing on reality. The LRT corridor carries 30,000 passengers a day - do the math!"

Mr Dixon did the math and apparently the LRT Think Group likes to inflate numbers.( I may not have seen Metrolinx and the City's revised report after Mr.Dixon's departure.) Nothing is false about the facts presented by Mr. Dixon.

"the construction period will be challenging, as road reconstructions always are. The long-term benefits more than outweigh the short-term disruptions."

Long term benefits? Two lanes on a major thoroughfare thru Hamilton with 42% of the B line revenue disappearing. And clearly stated last night at the James street BIA meeting that ALL revenue goes to Metrolinx and ALL maintenance and up keep falls on the shoulders of Hamilton taxpayers. Did you not attend the public meeting on Rapid Transit last night @ the James street BIA.? As all your comments would have been reclarified because of your misinformation to date.

Your LRt Think Group clearly supports Metrolinx and their poor deal to the taxpayers of Hamilton. If this is such a good deal why not put this to a referendum. And let the people decide. Apparently council has not done a good job living up to "The Ambitious City " monniker.

Please note Portlands LRT FIASCO.
