Do you support the city's plan to build an east-west light rail transit (LRT) line with full capital funding from the Province?

Ward 10
Candidate	Brief Response	Full Response
DiFalco, Teresa	Maybe	In principle I support LRT, based on the following assumptions: • Capital funding is provided 100% from the province. • The full costs, other than capital funding are declared and known, and deemed to be affordable to Hamiltonians. • A strong business case is in place to ensure benefits outweigh costs. • The implementation is a made in Hamilton solution that takes into account our unique characteristics. • LRT is a component of a broader proper mix of transit options. • BRT is enhanced in Ward 10 and for other areas requiring better transit services immediately. I have read all the materials on this topic and there are just too many important questions left unanswered. In a recent Spec questionnaire about LRT, in which participants had to pick either Yes or No, I requested clarification if I could explain my answer because this is not a straight Yes or No question. So without having all the answers that I need, I said No, but that is not to say that I am not remaining open to looking at this further.
Pearson, Maria	Maybe	I support addressing LRT or BRT in the most responsible and cost efficient method that provides improved service to transit users of Hamilton and taxpayers. The big question continues to be the Province's funding.
