"The City of Vancouver is currently making street improvements in the Hospital Zone along 10th Ave between Willow St and Ash St. 

During construction, some traffic delays are expected. Traffic on 10th Ave will be reduced to one lane westbound for vehicle traffic and one westbound and eastbound bike lane will be maintained for cyclists.

Parking and drop-off and pick-up areas will be impacted by construction, and we encourage patients, their families and visitors to plan ahead to allow extra time for you to arrive at your appointment."
