Council has voted dozens of times since 2008 to advance Hamilton's light rail transit (LRT) project, including voting to submit the plan with a full funding request to the Province in 2013, and voting to accept full funding and implementation from the Province in 2015. Do you support completing the LRT plan? Why or why not?

Beattie, Jeff Yes I support transit expansion and infrastructure renewal. I support balancing the Urban/Suburban tax levy imbalance. I support focusing high density, high rise development into the downtown corridor and not in the suburbs (where nobody wants it). The LRT project as I understand it does all of this. I support continuing to work with the Province and Metrolinx (who are providing funding for the project) to complete the project, so long as these benefits remain.
