An emergency patient pick–up and drop-off area on University Avenue abutting the site of Mount Sinai Hospital (600 University Avenue) will be needed to accommodate emergency patients for the duration of redevelopment and construction of the private laneway located to the south of the site.

A temporary entrance and an access ramp to the emergency department will be installed on University Avenue. A portion of the ramp will be installed within the existing boulevard allowance on the west side of University Avenue abutting the site. With the installation of the subject ramp, there will be sufficient space available to accommodate pedestrian movements on the west side of University Avenue.
