Comment 87070

This comment really stood out as another example of mixed messaging:

Murray said the priority is to "maximize the growth in your tax base and the attraction of new investment and new jobs and private sector investment".

This has been the basis of City staff's argument to Metrolinx to fund LRT in Hamilton. However, others (including Metrolinx spokespeople, the Mayor and the Spec) have said that the top priority is to reduce congestion, which is why Mississauga's project is still described as LRT.

If the economic stimulus argument (and by extension city-building) is the top priority, then Hamilton's LRT project should stand out as one of the most competitive! But what is the true priority list ... it is very difficult to tell.
