Citizens for an Accountable Mega-hospital Planning Process www.windsormegahospital.ca January 20, 2020

A Costly Proposition: Will Windsor's new public transit plan improve accessibility to the County Road 42 hospital location, or is it an expensive plan that will encourage even more private vehicle use in the future?

Transit Windsor’s master plan uses visionary language, but the new route design for transit service

to the single site acute care hospital location on County Road 42 (CR42) is deeply flawed. There is

little evidence suggesting direct routes and frequent bus service were considered a priority for

routes to the proposed hospital location.

Rather than increasing public transit ridership, the new transit plan is likely to encourage more

private vehicle use to the new hospital - Windsor's second-largest employer. This is because of the

extreme distance to the CR42 location and the need to circumnavigate Windsor Airport from most

Windsor neighbourhoods. Ensuring frequent service to the still-rural CR42 location will be costly,

especially since the area is zoned for low-density housing. Will taxpayers and transit users be

prepared to underwrite the new routes to CR42 in this plan?

• Only two of the four new routes created to service CR42 will offer bus service every 15

minutes during "peak" times. The other two routes will operate much less frequently during

"peak" times - just twice an hour. Nights, weekends and holidays, these new routes will offer

even less service. The majority of transit users will need at least one transfer to get to the CR42

location.

• No direct connections will run from the planned Ouellette site Urgent Care Centre (UCC) to

CR42. There is also no direct connection from the UCC to Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare Tayfour

Campus (HDGH).

• Public transit will be an unattractive option for healthcare workers and volunteers who don't

live along direct bus routes. Many of Windsor Regional Hospital's (WRH) 4,000+ healthcare

workers, especially those living in neighbourhoods near Met Campus, walk to the hospital. How

many will have to take more than one bus get to CR42, making public transit an unattractive

option?

If the new hospital were to be located closer to where most people already live, the planned new

public transportation system could provide better and more cost-effective reasons to take the bus.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________ A Costly Proposition: Flaws in Transit Windsor’s New Master Plan

Citizens for an Accountable Mega-hospital Planning Process www.windsormegahospital.ca

The importance of great transit for everyone - in Transit Windsor's words

Transit Windsor describes the importance of environmentally sustainable public transit:

It also acknowledges a desire to break barriers to public transit usage:

Yet this is not addressed for trips to the single site acute care hospital. It strongly suggests that

access to the new hospital by public transit is not a high priority.

The Way Forward (the existing 2006 transit master

plan), devotes several pages to identifying Transit

Windsor's core market of "immigrants, seniors,

students, low-income individuals, and people with

physical and/or cognitive disabilities".

A series of maps shows where these residents are

likely to live. The map above shows transit

commuting rates across Windsor (the "H" marks the

proposed exurban hospital site adjacent to Windsor

Airport).

It's particularly helpful for understanding the extreme physical distance to the rural CR42 single site

acute care hospital for those who are most dependent on public transit.

The city's demographics have not changed dramatically since 2006.

"Societal values have shifted towards living in communities that are both environmentally

sustainable...and healthy (i.e. encourage physical activity and which minimize pollution) ...there is

also now definitive evidence that communities are healthier and “greener” when they have great

transit service...

...strategic plans that made sense for the future when written in 2006 may no longer reflect how the

community has evolved in the last decade."

-- More Than Transit, page 5

"A bus coming less frequently than every 20 minutes can add a lot of time to an individual’s trip if

they miss their connection or are a couple minutes late.

This makes taking transit very inconvenient and undesirable for someone who has access to other

transportation alternatives."

-- More Than Transit, page 6


P a g e | 3



Three important questions that need answers

1. How long will it take to get to the CR42 hospital location by bus, after waiting

times are factored in?

The integration of a transit plan is a requirement of the hospital site selection process. Yet, this

integration is not at all evident in the new transit plan – four years after selecting the CR42 site. Four

new bus routes are dedicated to getting there in the new master plan:

• Route 15: from the downtown Windsor International Transit Terminal via Devonshire Mall

• Route 16: from the Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare Tayfour Campus (HDGH) via E.C. Row

Expressway

• Route 160: from the East End Terminal at Tecumseh Mall

• Route 200: a meandering route from HDGH via the University of Windsor and through LaSalle

The table below shows the time between buses in the new plan. There is no indication of the length

of time these routes will take from start to finish.

Of the four hospital destination routes, no buses are

scheduled more frequently than every 15 minutes.

• Many bus transit users will need one or more transfers,

adding time and complexity to their journey.

• For trips originating at Tecumseh Mall in East Windsor via

Route 160, bus frequency on weekdays is every 30 or 60

minutes. On weekends and holidays service is even less

frequent: every 45 or 60 minutes.

How will this affect hospital workers and

volunteers?

Many of Windsor Regional Hospital's 4,000+

healthcare workers and volunteers walk to

work from neighbourhoods clustered around

the existing hospital campuses.

The distance to the only direct bus route to

CR42 from the neighbourhood around Met

Campus is onerous, adding a lot of travel time.

For this reason, hospital employees and volunteers who live near Met Campus who don't wish to

move to Sandwich South, will likely drive to work instead of choosing to take the bus.


P a g e | 4



2. Why is no direct bus route planned from Ouellette Campus (the site of the

proposed downtown UCC) to the proposed acute care hospital on CR42? Why is no

direct route planned from Ouellette Campus to the HDGH west end terminal?

The language on page 40 of More Than Transit emphasizes the importance of connecting key activity

hubs/nodes to each other.

Yet no direct routes are planned from the UCC to the new hospital!

Why is the proposed UCC not a key destination?

The map to the left is from page 56 of the new

transit system. Where Windsor Regional Hospital's

Ouellette Campus currently stands is marked with

an "H."

The nearest direct bus route to the proposed

hospital site is a 750 m walk from Ouellette

Campus. This is a major barrier to access to

healthcare.

According to WRH's most recent

announcements, a UCC will replace the current

acute care hospital at the Ouellette site. There will also be outpatient mental health, addictions and

chronic disease management services under the plan for the new hospital system. Hôtel-Dieu Grace

Healthcare provides an array of non-acute, as well as in- and outpatient services.

Windsor has two acute care hospital campuses today, but neither provides a full complement of

services. Bringing all hospital healthcare services under one roof will improve efficiency by

eliminating patient transfers. Today, this transfer is straightforward. Ambulatory patients are

required to transfer themselves, rather than being transported by ambulance.

P a g e | 5



Currently, the 4 km door-to-door journey takes about 20-25 minutes on the 1C bus. It operates

every 10 minutes during peak times on weekdays:

Comparison: What if patients travel by bus from the proposed UCC on the Ouellette Campus

location to the planned hospital on CR42?

Under the proposed model, the downtown UCC will provide only limited healthcare services.

Patients with referrals for follow-up treatment at the single site acute care hospital will face a

journey exceeding 15 km if they take public transit to get there.

Passengers will need at least one bus transfer, for example:

• Route 14 northbound to the terminal in downtown Windsor, then Route 15 southbound via the

terminal at Devonshire Mall around Windsor Airport to the hospital on CR42.

• Route 14 southbound to the East End Terminal, then Route 160 around Windsor Airport to the

hospital on CR42.

Other combinations exist, but they would require at least two bus transfers.

P a g e | 6



A simple 4 km bus journey to the hospital under the current model will be four times longer and

more time-consuming under the proposed model.

• This added complexity will undoubtedly encourage more travel by car.

• It will affect patient outcomes for those who are dependent on public transit for their

transportation needs.

• For those with impaired mobility, transfers during inclement weather will be especially

onerous.

Is it possible that Windsor Regional Hospital was overlooked as a key stakeholder?

A description of the community outreach and engagement for the project is described in the transit

master plan on page 15.

Telephone interviews were conducted with "internal and external key informants." Windsor Regional

Hospital doesn't appear on the list.

• Is it possible that Windsor Regional Hospital, the region's second largest employer,

undertaking its $2 billion healthcare overhaul, was overlooked as a key stakeholder?

• Or did Windsor Regional Hospital fail to convince the transit consultants about the

requirement to integrate direct transit routes to the hospital?

3. Looking at the alternatives: could better and more cost-effective transit service

be provided if the hospital is located closer to densely populated established

neighbourhoods?

For example: Six of the new routes will run by the GEM

site on Tecumseh Road East.

• Route 14 buses, originating in downtown Windsor,

will be scheduled every 10 minutes at “peak”

times on weekdays. This route also stops at the

Ouellette/UCC site.

• Numerous additional transit routes pass through

the East End Terminal at Tecumseh Mall (the East

End Terminal is 600m east of the GEM site)


P a g e | 7



A costly yet inadequate proposition?

Rather than increasing transit usage, Windsor's second-largest employer – Windsor Regional Hospital

– may ultimately encourage even more private vehicle use with the plan for the new regional

hospital system. This is the polar opposite of what is envisioned and outlined in Windsor’s new public

transit plan.

The new routes to CR42 presented in Transit Windsor’s master plan indicate a lack of coordination

between the City of Windsor and the hospital planning process. In particular:

• Inadequate service frequency, especially from East Windsor to the CR42 hospital site

• Nights, weekends and holidays, these new routes will offer even less service

• No direct bus route between the planned downtown UCC and the CR42 hospital site

• No indication of the impact on average journey length, including transfers

Providing enough public transit to properly serve Windsor Regional Hospital’s rural location adjacent

to Windsor Airport may prove to be overwhelmingly costly to both taxpayers and public transit

users.

How is this conceivable when the new WRH healthcare and public

transit systems will need to sustainably serve local residents

for many generations to come?

GEM Site

About the hospital site selection process

GEM, a 77 acre infill site in East Windsor, was

originally the top-scoring site. It eventually lost

to the CR42 site because of its $1.8M higher

land price. The cost of infrastructure, including

public transit service, was not evaluated.

On transit:

• GEM scored 45/50 (90%), while the CR42 site scored 35/50 (70%).

• The former GM Transmission site between
