Origin
Summary
Michael Garron Hospital requires a temporary adjustment to its main entrance. After meeting with their team, it was decided that to ensure safe and accessible patient transfers during this period, the hospital needs to establish an Accessible Loading Zone.
To accommodate this temporary loading zone, some paid parking spaces must be temporarily removed. This change is necessary to maintain unobstructed access for patients, hospital transport vehicles, and those with mobility needs.
City staff have reviewed the request and support the temporary removal of parking to prioritize accessibility and patient safety.
