Meeting will discuss
LGH expansion plans
$130-M hospital redevelopment

THE PROPOSED $136-million redevelopment of Lions

Gate Hospital will be discussed at a Sept.

10 public

meeting in North Vancouver City hall.

LGH president Bob Smith said
city staff have put forward several
options for possible redevelop-
ment in addition to the LGH's
proposal, which will require an
Official Community Plan
amendment.

LGH staff and North Van-
couver City staff will make pres-
entations during the public
meeting before opening the floor
to questions. Models of the pro-
posals will be on display at the
meeting.

“We're looking forward to a
good discussion,’’ Smith said.

The four options are: -
redeveloping the present site
without expanding to the east side
of St. Andrews;
rezoning the entire 300-block
east of St. Andrews to Ridgeway
between East 13th and East 15th
for the hospital’s redevelopment
and other potential development;

e closing off St. Andrews so the
hospital expansion would be adja-
cent to the current site with a buf-
fer zone between the LGH
redevelopment and surrounding
residents;

© redeveloping the east side of St.
Andrews between East 13th and
East 15th, and half a block east to
Ridgeway Avenue with a buffer
zone between the development and
residential housing.

While LGH has applied for an
OCP amendment according to the
latter option, the hospital’s ozigi-
nal master plan included the
closure of St. Andrews.

News Reporter

“We got feedback that there
was some concern about that
(closing St. Andrews). That is our
most ideal option, but we could
deal without that,’’ Smith said.

Parking and increased traffic
are some of the issues area resi-
dents may be concerned about, he
said.

The master plan will add
400,000 square feet to the LGH
hospital! site and would take 10
years to complete. A connecting
tunnel underneath St. Andrews
would increase parking from 575
to approximately 937 spaces.

The redevelopment proposes an
increase in LGH’s extended care
beds from the current 294 to 469
beds and would also upgrade the
facility to current fire and build-
ing regulations.

LGH is now waiting for project
design funding from the provincial
government; Smith acknowledged
the hospital is ‘‘in a pretty long
queue”’ for funding.

At the end of Tuesday’s public
meeting, a questionnaire on the
LGH redevelopment options will
be handed out. The public can
also attend a Sept. 23 council
meeting where the LGH
redevelopment will be discussed.

The Sept. 10 public meeting
starts at 7 p.m. in council
chambers, 141 West {4th St.,
North Vancouver.
