And the first priority: a new parking lot! Unbelievable.

The quote seems pretty clear …
“In particular, the funds made available would enable construction of the new multi-level parking lot to begin, which must be built first so that work can start on the space occupied by the current parking lot.”
Why would you expect a hospital not to have functional parking, even if only for staff and emergency vehicles… and why build parking just for that if you already have plans to replace land-inefficient parking lots with more efficient multi-storey parking?

The current parking situation is a mess. There are a bunch of separate parking lots, each with a different gate. It is all surface parking which takes up lots of real estate. It make sense to build a multi-level parking lot to take the current lots back first.

Hospital staff in Halifax have been having severe problems because they tore down parking garages a few years ago, and now that the Nova Scotia government has implemented free parking for patients, cannot find anywhere to park near their workplace.
I don’t know why anyone is surprised that people who are sick, injured, or have mobility issues get driven to hospitals by family members.

…and people who work at the hospitals. Especially ones who work odd shifts.

Improving parking is fine, my beef is that it’s *first* on their list. I’d rather they start with, I dunno, making backup generators work in the face of a little wind and rain.

My former workplace had two generators in the parking garage.
Sometime you gotta build something new so you can step by step and demolish the rest.
