I for one think it's very sad how the hospital has no garden or park area. There's nowhere for patients to take a recuperating stroll anywhere on the campus. A parking facility should be put up instead of so much asphalt parking, and a small and navigable park put in its place. You could name the entire neighborhood after the hospital, since it's such a landmark building - St. Anne's or somesuch.

Something to consider for the hospital campus: not sure how it is in other countries, but here wherever there's a fairly big hospital you will also find an apartment building or two within walking distance. They're mostly occupied by healthcare workers at the hospital (for those who don't want to have to commute/drive home after working a long shift). Also available for people from out of town who are there for outpatient treatments that have multiple sessions over the course of several weeks.

To piggyback on your point... Near me in the US state of GA, a hospital of that size would also generally have more medium density (3, 4, 5 or maybe even 6 stories) office buildings for various specialist dr offices.... like the hospital near me has things like neurologist offices and whatnot within walking distance (heck, some are even closer).

a reason almost no one was using your parking lots is that they can't get out of the middle sections because there are no crosswalks.

@@jonathanflugge3557 you do, but there’s a tendency to just spray flat parking lots everywhere, even when a multi level car park would be better. As an example of clever use of a multi-level car park, aside from the benefit of reduced floor area, my city hospital has a multi level facility attached to the side of the main building. It allows there to be dedicated spaces for dialysis patients to park on the floor where they receive their treatment. Unless it is full, you can therefore park on the same level as your appointment, which is fantastic for wheelchair access. In addition, the hospital has its own well connected bus terminal so you can get there in no more than 2 busses. It was mentioned by another commenter, but the hospital in this episode would do better with more compact parking and a space for recreation in its place, which would include a small shopping area, cafe, parkland for rehab and mental wellness, and small accommodations for long stay patients and/or staff.

Not the biggest fan of getting rid of all the parking near the ER. A lot of patients are driven by private cars to the ER when it's not an emergency that requires an ambulance (or when ambulances have a reputation in the area of being slow/late). Having at least a bigger drop-off area would be a good consideration.

[@SnowfallPolaris]

My personal experiences with regional hospital campuses in my part of the Midwest (Minnesota) is that often times they'll have hotel services very close by to provide for people who have to travel from out of area to the hospital. Older, more established campuses I've noticed also tend to have independent spiritual buildings in the neighborhood as well.

[@goodeveningtalos]

I've been hoping to see a hospital come to the county since the University was built so this was very gratifying! In my experience as the child of two hospital workers, a parking lot like the one that comes with the asset would often be for staff, especially doctors on call to be able to enter the hospital efficiently-seeing car access to the ER bay removed as part of it also seems wrong, though it presumably doesn't impact the functionality of the building at all in game. I agree with other commenters that some more amenities like hotels and housing in the area would be reasonable additions to the campus. A more urban hospital might not be able to have great park space nearby but this feels like a great location to get some green space right next door.

[@stigafan]

That many parking spots out in the open looks silly, a parking building would look neater.

[@p_igaming4582]

Hey CPP, at the interchange, the road between the two offramps looks like it is very inefficient and dangerous. It requires vehicles to make multiple stops before being able to turn onto river street or enter the offramp. I would suggest adding a roundabout (maybe turboroundabout) to increase traffic flow and reduce possibilities of dangerous situations occuring. The factory would also benefit from having this interchange be safer because semi-trucks entering and leaving the area would not require to make multiple full stops that, with their long braking zones and slow acceleration, can cause traffic holdups and dangerous traffic conditions.

Come on Phil, extra office parking next to the biggest parking lot in town? Add a path between offices and hospital. Done. Makes it easier to bike too. People also wouldn't have to drive if public transit was better. I still say expand the tram to the target-like store (tram depot is right there, the dead heading could turn useful). Maybe turn the tram in at the Switch-On factory along the arterial-to-be, and loop at the hospital, or maybe onwards along the coast where you removed bus stops? That'd open up a ton of valuable land use. The pond is a nice touch. :)

[@PoplarPonderosa]

I have worked on a parking study for a Hospital. In my experience, they don't want to share their parking with other parcels and uses. And it's the city's responsibility to make sure each parcel can realistically serve their own parking demands on their parcel because you never know what the neighboring parcels will look like in the future. Public transit and active transportation infrastructure is great but the amount and distribution of parking feels quite realistic.

[@thespanishinquisiton8306]

You mentioned that you want to serve the hilltop with either trolleybuses or trams and I'm here to tell you that getting a tram up there is very difficult. The reason diesel buses struggle on slopes is power to weight ratio, but trams struggle because their wheels have less friction than rubber-tired vehicles and can start sliding downhill if not designed properly. It's rare for adhesion railways to run at higher than 5% slope, although there are a few trams that go up to 7% or even a little higher (Portland's light rail is one example, and San Fransisco Muni has a section of 9.1%). I'd stick to 7% as a maximum, and obviously wherever possible you want to be below 4%

[@lil_JuJu]

You could change the color of the hospital with recolor! I always thought the generic CS2 hospital colors were very bright and clean. Parking is very valuable of course and for a car centric NA build it makes sense, but there’s really a lot of parking lol, especially for there being such excellent transit options nearby. Maybe consider adding a taxi stop as well! Awesome video!

[@sadnanoengineer4627]

The side of the interchange with two ramps should probably be combined, or at least made into a supernode. Having two crossings that close together would likely needlessly create traffic there once the volume grows. Maybe take a little bit of eminent domain from the park there to shift the offramp to align with the onramp? It would also make the left turn movement onto the highway a lot safer given that it would then be signalized.

I think it would be wise to replace side parking of hospital with some sort of park. You know, patients of hospital needs some place to walk and rest outside.

[@nicholashofmann9664]

It might be worth considering moving the bus station from the shopping center to the hospital campus. I'm living in Europe now and large hospitals around here tend to also be major nodes in the transit system, which makes sense if you think about how you want the hospital to be as easily accessible as possible for the highest number of people. It probably wouldn't detract too much to convert some of the parking to a station for the local bus lines to interchange, and maybe eventually extend the tram out that way.

[@tumi6ocdn]

this is awesome! doesn't seem like there's anything in the way of accommodation near the new hospital though, which would seem bizarre given that it's a regional facility.

[@one-six952]

Hi Phil, I feel like you could be more willing to use "quayed" roads in situations with large elevation changes or roads with notable height differences close to each other - you don't always have to berm them up ! They don't have to be bridges or expensive, fully concrete constructions - they could be mechanically stabilized earth embankments that still cost less than bridges but uses less land (and material) then traditional earthen embankments. I think the two straighter ramps constructed in for the interchange in this episode warrants "quay" use on the highways, not only allowing you to pull one of the ramp much closer to the highway and have a single 4-way junction instead of two T's near each other but should also look nicer than retaining walls. Another time that MSE comes to mind for me is when you basically bermed a whole hill into existence fixing that interchange in MC #31... I would have kept the main bridge span and "quay" most of the approaches - or just "quay" all of it: I just can't imagine transporting sooooo much soil there for a hill could cost less than even bridging if it wasn't an old landfill mound to begin with. This older Practical Engineering video talks about MSE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqDPoYaEa8SHecU Thanks for bringing us these amazing videos! I hope you consider my proposal and try to use more "quay roads" where they are appropriate.

Hi Phil, I live in a town with quarries, and repurposed ponds made on what was before a quarry tend to have extremely sharp edges and tend to be really deep.

Hi Phil! Been a huge fan since Verde Beach, first time commenter though. I had three ideas for the name of the hospital. My first is something generic like "Magnolia County Regional Hospital"; My second is Timmons-King Regional Hospital, as an homage to Chuckles and Emily, and also a sort of comeback to Sheila's ads seeing as the hospital is so close to her town. My third is the Magnolia Fire Memorial Hospital as I can see Governor Timmons naming it that in memory of all the people who died and as a political move to remind people of Sheila's incompetence.

I like the idea of calling it the Plainview Medical Park, Plainview Valley or something similar; the entire district is pretty much dominated by the hospital and offices (realistically many of which would end up being related uses, private medical practices, specialists' offices, etc.) Give a bit of a nod to the fact that much of the Township of Plainview was annexed into it; Plainview proper will probably end up consumed by Paradise Bay and it would be nice to have a landmark that hearkens back to the little township that used to be there. It'd be kind of neat to have one of the roads through the area still be named "Quarry Street" or something similar, like a relic of what the original land use was. Otherwise though, it's fun to see Chuckles get a little one-up on Sheila in the regional political maneuvering. Excited to see how she'll turn it back around. Love the series, always an instant-watch when I see a new video posted.

Outstanding video quality, the TV report was fun to read and really builds the lore for the series! 👍🏻

[@thebearded_guardian3671]

Phil - this is my world! I have so many things to say about this build, on the macro level. I would love to help you optimize your healthcare system, especially from the EMS/trauma perspective. I’ve been in the EMS world for 15 years. I’d love to help!

maybe i’m used to fairly urban hospitals but i feel like most similar hospitals would have overground parking structures no?

[@majortom1164]

Huge hospital carpark hardly utilised, tiny carparks around clinic absolutely jam packed.

I've only started the video, but I've already got to say that thoughtful redevelopment is fun to watch in general!

2 years from now this series will be a full blown Drama-Politics-City-Planning-TV-Show.... and i love it! Keep it up! ❤

Hearing you passionately talk about having to burn the bodies faster reminded me of a famous painter.

I had no idea what you were talking about. Had to google it, and was not disappointed.

Here in the Grand Rapids MI area we have a hospital that made a mixed use development around the hospital. It’s called The Village at U of M Health West. That’s how I envision suburban hospitals.

[@NeonAviator17]

Many have offered their thoughts on the parking lot, but I have something extra to add. PHIL! IT'S A HOSPITAL! WHERE ARE THE DISABLED PARKING SPOTS!! As someone with a wheelchair always side-eyeing the places that don't bother, you'd think the one place you can trust they'd be is the hospital. In addition, you removed so many crosswalks that if you DID have to park far away with a wheelchair, crossing some of those streets would be utterly terrifying (actually, I find crossing streets even at crosswalks terrifying. You feel so extremely slow and vulnerable in a wheelchair...) No matter what other adjustments you make based on the feedback from others, please please please put disabled parking in front of the hospital. The ADA will have something to say about that otherwise...(Sheila may have a way to recover from her blunder if she points out this shocking omission).

[@onemanzu]

Fleet farm!? Gosh, I missed out on stopping there when we were in MN last year. Really wanted to stop in.

[@bradystech2013]

You should call the Neighborhood Healthy Acres, not only as a nod to the Hospital, but also as a nod to the amazing fields around the area that provide great yields. Oh, and CHUCKLES!

[@YouKnowJus]

that medical clinic parcel with the low rent housing turned out amazing

[@sproutingpotato6963]

Perhaps Sheila Johnson should have campaigned on schools instead of hospitals.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Huge need there, lol
