Hospitals in KW

[panamaniac]

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). 

Based on the quote from the Record ("Now that we know the site, we know the planning setbacks; we know the height limitations on the site; we know what utilities are available; we know the roads") they are considering those things. The interesting bit in the quote is the "height limitations" and one wonders whether that has to do with airport flight paths, as I really don't expect the cities would deny height to the new hospital.

If they're going to have 50 acres to work with, it's hard to see how height limitations could be an issue.
