And the plan is indeed to build an A-line LRT that would go North-South connecting the Bay to the airport via the new James St N Go and via station.

As Sean points out, Claremont is the natural route, as its grade is no problem for LRT.

That, presumably, is why the provincial government promised to build two LRT lines in Hamilton.

The longer term BLAST plan would provide even greater connectivity by adding an east-west line on the Mountain and through Ancaster and Waterdown.

The reason to do the B-line first is that current passenger loads already justify LRT, and the line passes through the part of the city that has the most potential for densification and economic uplift in the short term.

It does in fact connect to the rest of the GTAH via the Hunter St go terminal.
