Hamilton, Ontario halts light rail planning

Tranzwatching in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Apparently having used up most of a $3million research grant from the Ontario Provincial Government specifically pegged to investigating light rail , the city manager of Hamilton, Ontario (c700,000 metropop) has halted all activity associated with developing light rail other than that specifically required by the the Province itself. Mayor Bob Bratina says all-day GO transit commuter rail connection to down town Toronto is a greater priority.
