"New Civic Hospital won't have enough parking says community group." by Charlie Senack, Kitchissippi Times, December 3, 2024.
Parking Shortage "There is a high probability that car arrivals at the campus in 2028 will far exceed the parking capacity. The impact of this parking shortage on staff, outpatients and visitors, as well as on nearby neighbourhoods will be severe...My best guess is that mitigation will eventually include TOH asking the NCC for more acreage on the Experimental Farm-probably in the Arboretum and along Maple Drive and even in Commissioners Park-for another parking garage and more surface parking lots." (From: The Glebe Report, 'Risk Management and the new Civic Hospital campus' by Barbara Popel, March 18, 2022.)
The 22-acre Commissioners Park is part of the Ottawa Greenbelt: House of Commons Ottawa September 16, 2009: MP Steven Blaney "Other properties found in the Greenbelt are Commissioners Park, where there is a display of over 100,000 tulips."
"The need for extra land as proposed in the zoning was also a point of concern,,,The current Civic Hospital is 23 acres of land-hospital officials are looking for a parcel more than twice that size." (Glebe Annex Community Association.)
"Every new hospital will look at ways they can actually make money from a site they are developing. Parking is a major component of making money at a hospital. If you ask the people why they are parking on your front lawn its because of $90 plus dollars every month to pay."
The Parking Garage "In the northeast section of the site, the Ottawa Hospital is currently planning to build a four storey parking garage. This is not an appropriate use of land across from Dow's Lake. The parking garage will be built upon what is currently a small parking lot as well as Queen Juliana Park. It will also remove an important section of the Trillium Line multi-use path."
