A Vancouver mayoral candidate wants to expand St. Paul’s Hospital by lifting height restrictions on the century-old facility.
“This hospital here has been an anchor in the West End for 100 years,” said Coun. Suzanne Anton at a press conference yesterday.
“As mayor I will do everything in my power to keep it here. Lifting those artificial height restrictions will give St. Paul’s the flexibility to redevelop on its own site.”
The hospital is currently limited to 11 floors, even though it is surrounded by the tallest buildings in the city.
Ensuring the hospital stays at its current site will allow it to expand faster and save millions of dollars at the same time, explained Anton.
