This LRT project is destined to be one massive money pit for Ontario taxpayers and Hamilton property tax payers not to mention all the proposed route businesses that will be ruined during years of construction! Do you really think the Province is going to cover operational & maintenance costs?? Property taxes will skyrocket so McMaster students that are mostly non-Hamiltonians can get from school to downtown. Not one single construction quote has been rendered, no one know what lies underneath the ground of a 100 year plus City that needs replacement and if it goes over budget, which it will by a large amount, project gets scaled back or wait for it " City pays the over run if project is not scaled back"! That is property taxes! The only project that makes sense for a City like Hamilton is an enhanced Rapid Bus Service where routes can be changed dependant on demand, stops are closer together, all of the City could benefit & it wouldn't take years & years like LRT & it would be cheaper!
