I totally see where you're coming from Shempatolla, but I still feel there needs to be a shift in public funding attention to inner-city transit. And, from virtually all evaluations, LRT would be good fit for a city of our size as we head into the future.

What I think really needs to happen to make all of this work --and, I'm not an economist, so this will be oversimplified in nature -- there needs to be hefty tax hikes on building out, and solid incentives for building up.

Driving on the Red Hill and Linc last night, I look at these gargantuan off and on-ramps and wondered how much could that have cost? And, conversely, if major highway and sprawl infrastructure spending was diverted to city/ density building, would we even need to have these conversations?

It just strikes me that the 'seven generation' outlook, by all evaluations, must favour the implementation of the Big Move...specifically LRT throughout downtown Hamilton.
