First of all, I am anti-LRT for many reasons & have stated so for several years!

However, Nicholas Kevlahan's conclusions today make a great deal of sense. It appears for Hamilton to get out of this elephant in the room deal (my opinion), a very compelling disadvantage to the City reason not previously exposed needs to occur during EA or MA process!

No one's fault except the Mayor & Councillor's for not getting legal opinions from our highly paid City staff to ensure City flexibility until all positive/negative aspects are determined!

Unfortunately they, the politicians, think they know it all.

Should not include them all as some like the Mayor were on a mission to force this LRT as they are totally convinced of it's pluses. Of course a few Councillor's where this $1B so called gift runs through their Wards are in heaven & will soak the so called gift for many Elections.

Nothing wrong with conviction, but being a Leader of thousands, leave an exit if as often happens in political decisions, the project goes South? Mayor Fred failed us?

Have pro-LRT supporters won, yes I believe so & only a critical adverse development could change the course of the Titanic! I really hope the pro's are right & this project turns out to be the savior of downtown Hamilton that they all believe it will be.

The 90% of Hamilton tax payers who will never ride this shiny new toy of Mayor Fred as they live no where near it will never know?
