From the Niagara Falls Review:

Backed into a corner by the federal government, the City of Niagara Falls has to move ahead fairly quickly with its long dreamed of people-mover system

or forget about Ottawa’s $25-million pledge to help out.

City hall learned recently that unless there is an agreement in place by June 2009 to get the people-mover project rolling, the federal government will consider the file closed and remove its monetary offer that was based all along on the city matching the federal contribution.

It’s easy to understand Ottawa’s impatience -this project has been in the planning stages for years and years.

Ottawa made its offer back in 2003.
