“Parking at Saskatoon’s three hospitals is an issue that existed prior to the Children’s Hospital being built and wasn’t fully addressed when the building was constructed,” said Cape. “If Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon is the trauma centre for northern and central Saskatchewan, then we need to consider these additional needs when we are funding public infrastructure.
“Our members are demanding this be addressed. We’ve suggested a Park and Ride option and a safe walk/ride option, but ultimately, we need to build a staff parkade,” Cape said. “We need some options that keep our members safe and respect the neighbourhoods’ needs for residential parking.” Parking at the hospital campus is usually reserved for visitors, with a two- or three-hour limit. The wait-list for staff parking is approximately one year long.Story continues below advertisement
Some of the staff have a half-hour walk from their vehicles to the building, in the dark, each day or are required to return to their car every two hours to move it to a new space — an impossible option for those in surgery or tending to urgent patient needs.
Cape said she would like the public to hear from some of the assault victims personally, but with the extreme short-staffing in health care right now, she is not able to pull anyone off the job.
