Prairie Mountain Health has designated new parking spaces at the Brandon hospital to avoid congestion in the traffic loop at the building’s main entrance.

The change is due to safety concerns, the regional health authority said in a social media post on Tuesday.

Overcrowding in the traffic loop at the Brandon Regional Health Centre can make it difficult for larger transit vehicles to safely load and unload passengers while watching out for pedestrians, the post said.

To manage this, four designated parking stalls are located in front of the new critical care centre for Handi Transit and medical transport drivers for drop-off and pickup.

“The new designated parking will improve safety, reduce traffic delays in the busy front loop and create a safer arrival experience for patients, visitors and staff,” Prairie Mountain Health said.
