Please read Karl Andrus report yesterday ! "Meanwhile, the anti-rapid transit predictions of the downtown core decaying into a wasteland did indeed become true. However, the unbuilt rapid transit system itself can hardly be blamed. IF NOT WHAT IS ? (Today, due to the dedication of active citizens, members of our arts community and forward-thinking city officials, the downtown is undergoing a renaissance.) BUT THE ART COMMUNITY CANNOT SUSTAIN THE DOWN TOWN CORE ! Unfortunately the City has made no effort in bringing people to the down town every effort is made to create traffic congestion within Hamilton with recreational bike lanes and two way streets. Ask and motorist dealing with traffic within the city core and they will tell more congestion and travel time have increased with the dismantling of a once effective traffic system. One example is Buffalo but if you like I can give you more cities that have lost the heart of their down town to LRT's This is not untrue sadly you are misinformed and must belong to this new LRT "Think Group" all spouting the identical nonsense. Fact 1. We will absorb all the costs for generations for the maintenance and upkeep of the LRT with a big fat zero of money generated to operate this white elephant. I wish I could sustain a business with no income and rely on the taxpayers to keep me alive. 2. Every home and business in the LRT corridor will be affected in a negative manner with the exception of all the speculators investing heavily on King Street. Sir I do not fabricate Facts I just question crystal ball predictions by LRT organized "Think Groups" and the Government representatives and business speculators. This entire project is not needed with a ridership of 400 per hour and until our ridership is there we do not need to waste money on any kind of sparkling toys .
