Why won’t you reconsider building the new health-care complex planned in St. Catharines on available land at the intersection of Highways 406 and 20 to be more accessible for all Niagarans?
A very detailed selection process was undertaken to select the parcel of land to build the new health-care complex. Over 20 parcels of land were assessed, including land at Highways 406 and 20. The location at First Street and Fourth Avenue in west St. Catharines met all of the criteria including: size of property, transit access, proximity to roads such as Highway 406, QEW, St. Paul St and 4th/Welland Ave, compliance with official plan, ease of site services, proximity to Hamilton and central location in Niagara. The major advantage to this 40-acre property is that it accommodates future growth and capability for a complete rejuvenation of the complex in 50 to70 years, as required.
