Start of permanent parking construction means more parking changes

The time has come to start building permanent parking for the new hospital, and with that comes some more temporary changes to MMH parking.

These changes will take be implemented as of Wednesday, March 13, 2024.

With the removal of the former Seven Sisters facility, PCL will begin work in front of the main and emergency entrance areas of the new hospital. For this work to happen most of the temporary gravel parking lot on Tetrault Street will be removed. The area will be fenced off and become part of the construction site.

To make up for lost spots and help ease parking challenges until the new, permanent parking is available, we will be making the following changes:

• Adding a row of temporary parking spots, from east to west, along the hospital access road that runs from Tetrault Street to the existing hospital’s Emergency Department
• Temporarily reconfiguring the parking next to the new Seven Sisters parking lot to accommodate more vehicles
• Finding alternative off-site parking for NH service vehicles not needed on site at all times

We understand this is not an ideal situation. It is challenging and inconvenient. If possible, we ask you to consider:

• Arriving early
• Carpooling
• Getting dropped off and picked up (especially if you have mobility issues)

Thank you again for your patience at this time.
