Alberta Health Services (AHS) has commenced work on expanding the south (surface) parkade at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre (RDRHC). The expansion is expected to take approximately one year to complete and will see the addition of two levels which will add 500 more parking spaces to the structure.

The cost to expand the parkade is estimated to be $20-million, and it will be funded through debt-financing by AHS Parking Services.

This expansion is necessary as the public parking lots adjacent to the Central Alberta Cancer Centre and directly west of the parkade will be become part of the footprint for the new patient tower, which is part of the Government-led Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre Redevelopment Project.

Expansion of the parkade is an important step towards realizing the future growth that will occur at the site through the hospital redevelopment. With that growth AHS anticipates there to be increased demand for parking in the years to come, and expanding the parkade now ensures there will be space available to accommodate that demand.

With the exception of the fifth level, the south parkade will remain open during construction though access may change at times to accommodate equipment.

We will be engaging with you over the lifetime of this project, so please visit often or register by going under "Follow Project" on the right side of the page to receive email updates.

  • Share Question from AHS Community Engagement inbox: I see the great work occurring on the Red Deer hospital parkade. I want to share that the redirected traffic coming through the alleyway that runs between 39th Street and 52 Ave (past Watson Tower and Waskasoo Manor buildings) has caused serious ruts and potholes in the alley, making it difficult to safely drive our vehicles to and from our building. The outer edge of the corner in the alley has built up significantly, impacting our exterior parking spaces. I expect that there is a plan to grade the alley in order to address these issues and bring the alley back to its original state. Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you. on Facebook Share Question from AHS Community Engagement inbox: I see the great work occurring on the Red Deer hospital parkade.

    The project manager confirms AHS will be re-grading the alleyway as part of the clean-up work planned for the reopening of 39th Street. The intent is for re-grading to occur before any significant snowfall, so will therefore likely be carried out this month. If there are any changes to the timeline, they have committed to connecting with you directly to inform you of them. 

     

    We thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

  • Share I understand that I'm an hospital setting,it is good to have vast space for packing and also to have people's safety as the main priority. My question is will this expansion of the magnitude not interfer with other important hospital projects like creating a bigger structure for the ER, OR, Laboratories, Maternity and pediatric units and also getting more equipments for the use of the people the services are rendered to. In fairness, I love the expansion innovation but the cost is my concern. on Facebook Share I understand that I'm an hospital setting,it is good to have vast space for packing and also to have people's safety as the main priority.

    We understand your concerns and thank you for your comments. 

    This project will not interfere with the redevelopment and expansion project at RDRHC, nor with its operations. In fact, it is necessary to be done now to allow for the expansion project.

    Specifically, public parking adjacent to the parkade and the Central Alberta Cancer Centre will become the footprint of the new patient tower that is part of the RDRHC redevelopment project. These new levels will bring needed parking spaces lost with that build. Overall, 300 new parking spaces will be developed in the parkade expansion.

    To your other point, please be assured that no healthcare dollars are used for this or any AHS parking facility. Users pay parking fees, which allow for necessary parking infrastructure to be self-sustaining. 

    We hope this addresses your questions.

    Thank you for your questions.

    Expanding the parkade is necessary to replace the public parking lots adjacent to the Central Alberta Cancer Centre and west of the parkade which will become part of the footprint for the new patient tower that will be constructed as part of the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre Redevelopment Project. 

    Additionally, there continues to be a demand for parking at site. With the growth expected through the hospital redevelopment, expanding the parkade will help address that need for parking now and into the future.  

    The parkade expansion is a separate, AHS-led project and not part of the $1.8-billion Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre Redevelopment Project that is being led by the Government of Alberta.  The parkade expansion is debt-financed by Parking Services. No healthcare dollars are used to build or maintain AHS parking structures.

    Work on the redevelopment of RDRHC continues to progress, with construction on the new patient tower expected to begin later this year.
