Work is underway to expand parking capacity at Victoria General Hospital.<\/p>\n
Once complete, there will be 57 new public parking spaces on the northwest side of the hospital, says Island Health.<\/p>\n
Construction began Monday (Aug. 24).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe construction work will be phased, affecting approximately 15 spaces at a time, during which these spaces will not be available,\u201d said an Island Health news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be signage and traffic controllers when needed to help guide traffic flow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Island Health said access to the main entrance and emergency department will not be affected during this time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe recognize this work may be disruptive to patients, visitors and staff, and we apologize for any inconvenience this work may cause,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n
During construction, patients and visitors should allow for extra time to find parking or arrange drop-off and pick-up for appointments and visits where possible.<\/p>\n
Construction of the 57 parking spaces will require the removal of several trees.<\/p>\n
Island Health said it has completed the appropriate environmental assessments and will replant 23 trees as part of this project.<\/p>\n
The work is expected to be completed in late fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Construction begins to expand parking capacity at Victoria General Hospital Published 12:30 pm Monday, August 24, 2026 By…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[49,48,84],"class_list":["post-870175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
