Driving time from Cambridge to some potential locations, as compared to current location on King St W:
- Aud site: -5 minutes
- UW lands: +5 minutes
- Erb St W (near Costco): +10 minutes
The Aud site really has the best access of any of the options. UW lands are awfully far from Cambridge.

The plan only calls for replacing GRH and St Mary's. Cambridge Memorial should remain.

I think it was more of a way to say that a hospital at the top of Waterloo is surprisingly far from the big suburbs that line the Kit-Cam border, leaving them in limbo.

You mean the exit that our “definitely not neocon” mayor decided was the lifeblood of the community?

Seems like a very small venue for such a major issue.

The 50-acre requirement is so weird for all the reasons that have been outlined here. I can only assume it's meant to exclude certain sites in order to tilt the process in favour of one or more of the 50-acre-plus proposals.
