The Province supported Hamilton's LRT process all along and never raised concerns about lack of connection to GO until early this year!

The B-line will be a very short walk from the main Hunter Street station: the actual distance is more or less the same as the distance between the Union Bus station and the TTC subway. This is not unreasonable and should definitely count as "connected".

The A-line would connect both stations.

Maybe the Province was never serious in its repeated promises to "build two LRT lines in Hamilton" since 2007, but that's not Hamilton's fault. What precisely does a 2007 promise to build two LRT mean if there are no actual plans to do it in the foreseeable future (i.e. the next 10-15 years)? That's no promise at all.

The City made every mistake in the book on this project, but the Province aided and abetted them. The complaint about connection to GO should have been raised seriously in the 2010 BCA if it was really a deal-breaker for the Province!
