With Clr. Jackson- on LRT/HSR

Recently we reached out to Clr. Tom Jackson with respect to the question of LRT and HSR. Below are our questions, followed by the Clr.'s reply.

1. Recently much attention has surrounded Clr. Green’s efforts to insist that LRT is run and maintained by the HSR. We note however, that you brought this matter up much earlier in the process. From your perspective, what was the fate of your efforts and why do you think it ended that way?
2. Do you still believe that HSR should run and maintain LRT?
3. How would you account for the sudden resurgence of emphasis on this matter?
4. Is there anything else you’d like Hamiltonians to know about your views on LRT at this juncture?

The Clr. replied through his office, as follows:


In responses to your questions below, Councillor Jackson has asked that I relay to you that as he stated in his April 26, 2017 LRT speech submitted as one of his stipulations in support of the project, he does support the operation of the LRT ultimately being run by the City of Hamilton's HSR.

Thanks to Clr. Jackson for engaging with Hamiltonians via The Hamiltonian.
