No idea but the estimate of “2 Billion is obviously going to be grossly under as similar to the new Ottawa hospital that started at 2B but is now 2.9B

These things are often named after noted Political figures. This is a hospital -- should it could be named after a Political figure that is extremely ill? My thought is the Jason Kenney Anti-Neurological Brain-dead Centre for recovering Conservatives.

You can see where the lrt expansion will end right at Ellerslie Road at the park n’ride…..only a few more blocks to extend to the hospital

Future SW hospital lands and TOD.

Such horrendous sprawl...

I can see my house in that picture...no, really, I can!

Well I do hope that LRT construction could be considered to at least the hospital to coincide with the hospital opening within at least a couple years or so.

Under construction already, or just site prep?

Any Renderings of this Hospital Yet?

Site prep was done. No work on the facility has been done. I talked with a couple of people that were on the original design team. They said wait. I expect something just before an election is called. but with this group I expect they will build a private clinic instead.

 

[MacLac]

I thought we were in year 2 of a 3 year site prep? A 2B private clinic? Then it wouldn’t be private if they were building it

 

[goodcitywhenfinished]

Well if Smith gets leadership we can say bye-bye to any new investments in healthcare for a while. Might put this site at risk too.

^ Or at least health care in Edmonton. Or any other sort of investment in Edmonton I would guess.

I think Edmonton does a good job of deterring investment on its own (see the Gondola thread). Cant give all the credit to the provincial government in this case

Just flew overhead of the site and NO ground excavating equipment was on site. Either the contractor got skidded…..no name company OR?

Contractor was just for site prep work, which @Airboy's comment sounds like it's finished and now it's a political bullet in the UCP's gun for next year's election.
