That discussion is in the St Paul's thread. IIRC, there were three good points: that many of the ER's patients come from the DTES (which is now closer), that downtown traffic is best avoided, and that the brick building will be kept as a small hospital to handle downtown patients, while the giant annexes get redeveloped.

Well, 23 is anchored by the Main St. Skytrain Station.

Obviously removing the Viaducts is going to help with that.
This wouldn't even be as much of a problem if they had put dedicated bus lanes on the new Pacific/Expo Blvd. Maybe even turn Expo into a HOV/Bus route, as it's almost useless under the current plan.
But no- the City needs to squeeze as much $$$ out of this baby as it can. There's just
no space for new lanes!
