Just the parking lots north of the building at the Aud are almost as big as the entire site of the hospital on King St. It should be possible to build a new hospital on the site of those parking lots. Take over the skatepark and leash-free dog park as well (not that they’re not needed, just that it should be easy to find other locations for those particular uses). Build a parking structure on the parking lot south of the Aud to replace the lost Aud parking.
Still not great for transit, but way better than whatever halfway-to-Sudbury location they’ll probably actually pick.
And with both the Aud and the hospital, maybe we can get some sort of high capacity shuttle to the LRT line. Maybe even an LRT spur. Imagine if after games several LRVs started at the Aud and turned north and south when they got to the main line.
