As part of the Joseph and Rosalie Segal Family Health Centre project now under construction, the City of Vancouver requires a transportation and parking demand assessment of the VGH campus. To complete this assessment, survey interviewers will be on campus May 4 and 5.

Patients, visitors, staff and physicians are welcome to participate, and survey interviewers will clearly identify themselves with safety vests and lanyards at all times.

Survey timing and locations

Surveying will take place from 6:30 am to 3:30 pm on Thursday, May 5. Sandwich boards will be set up at survey stations to provide advance notice of survey activity in the area. Depending on the time of day, interviewers will be available at the following locations:

1. Gordon and Leslie Diamond Health Care Centre (inside adjacent to the Information Desk)
