Starting Wednesday, November 2 and expected to last for 2-3 weeks, construction will be taking place in and around CHEO’s Parking Lot A. Lot A is one of two parking lots designated for patients, families, caregivers and visitors.
During this construction period, we appreciate your patience as we work to improve our facilities and your experience at CHEO. Here is what you can expect over the next couple weeks:
- Public (patients, families, caregivers and visitors) can continue to access Lot A through the entrance directly off Ring Road. The entrance located closest to the Emergency Department will be closed and access on that road is limited to ambulances, staff and medical staff and those dropping off patients to the Emergency Department (see map below).
- Temporary accessible parking spots will be made available in alternate locations within Lot A as some of the permanent accessible parking spots will be closed during this period. Please follow signage on-site which will indicate these spots.
Please be mindful of fellow motorists and pedestrians as you are driving on Ring Road and navigating Lot A. There are signs in place to help direct both motorists and pedestrians. Make sure to carefully follow all speed limits, keep an eye out for construction signs and be sure to come to a full stop at any stop signs.
Thank you again for your patience as we make these improvements.
