Hospital Parking... Surface, Garages & Cars!
Lots of people work in our hospitals, most drive to work. They suggest a Downtown Utica concept would require 3,000+ parking spots. Why seek this destructive and very expensive move, when today the hospital owns 64-acres at the St. Luke's Campus?
Just one of the many reasons we ask, What's Wrong With The Downtown Hospital Concept and What's So Wrong With St. Luke's?.
Meanwhile a huge missing and confusing piece, where will the newly expanded and greater expansion of AUD patrons park? The following concept suggests the AUD requires 3,000 spaces: Utica AUD & Apartment Concept.

Anyone know why the proposed #mvhsdowntown hospital needs 3,000 parking spaces for @MVHealthSystem?

Do you realize how much could be saved—businesses, buildings, tax dollars—if the proposed hospital wasn’t such a parking hog? #utica #mvhsdowntown https://t.co/rkv9n5fHb3

November 17, 2017 - Downtown Utica has already been destroyed by surface parking! Now the "yes people" of Downtown MVHS say, "More, more, more"...
So the MVHS downtown hospital site plan released yesterday has roughly 10.5 acres dedicated to parking.

They also would include large surface lot(s) as well, and we have good reasons to believe there's a second parking garage hiding within the "hidden agenda" of their ill-conceived hospital concept!
The state of New York is giving hundreds of millions to a hospital to destroy downtown Utica. #nohospitaldowntown https://t.co/6g7XXgg8Dz
