It is extremely refreshing to see or hear a politician, who cares about whole city,rather than only a few sq. km downtown, and who takes an active interest into a project, that may cost "big bucks" to build. I have ventured into GOOGLE-land to see what "Charlotte LRT" can yield and I am not sure at this time, that Mr.Fergusson really understands the Hamilton project. Please check Charlotte - a set of pictures looks like an old strip of land or re-constructed highway or abandonded railway route with its own bridges and private stations plus a tunnel under CBD. Will Hamilton project have similar features? I don't know. Unless the terminals on both sides will be not too from legal borders of City, Hamilton LRT may be like an improved streetcar operation and therefore may yield different results than Charlotte. The "vagueness" of LRT projects around GTHA begs another question: Why does not Metrolinx spend some $20K to $40K and send its staff into distant locals like Erfurt,Halle,Stuttgart,Most,Liberec-Jablonec,Brno and try to get as many photos of near-LRT operations? Then general public and public officials may be able to make qualified decisions.
