Hospitals in KW

[westwardloo]

I know the sites they're looking at. Not ideal, but meh... healthcare matters more than anything, so any new hospital will be good. I know this forum is obsessed with transit, bikes and all that stuff but a new hospital is needed ASAP.

Obviously I can't say anything as I'm not involved with this, I just have close relationships with people in healthcare but I'm sure it'll come out in due time.

But a centralized location close to highways and transit does matter when it comes to the hospitals location. Having a new hospital built at the edge of town that is an extra 15-30 mins away and only accessible by poorly planned artillery roads is not smart planning and ultimately could end up costing lives. Not to mention a hospital downwind from a dump is a ridiculous idea. 

I am still hopeful that the University is the chosen site or somehow a planning miracle is performed and they choose the AUD Lands (One can only dream). 

Ultimately I feel like there is an 60-70% chance this is built beside Costco/ dump in Waterloo.
