Some Fort Collins doctors upset by loss of parking due

Some physicians at University of Colorado Health System’s Harmony Road campus are trying to stop a new cancer center from gobbling up 67 much needed parking spots.

The doctors say they support the southeast Fort Collins cancer center itself, but don’t want to lose parking that is already at a premium most days.

Building the 30,Want to find chinamosaic?000-square-foot center on the existing building’s west side will “take precious spaces away,” said Dr. Sally Knauer, an orthopedic surgeon with Northern Colorado Orthopedic Associates at the Harmony campus, who is leading the charge to protect the parking.

Kevin Unger, CEO of Poudre Valley Hospital, said the health system plans to build a 105-space parking lot on the building’s south side and begin enforcing where employees and physicians can park. Many now park next to the building, taking up patient parking, Unger said.

“There comes a time on every campus in the health system where we have to start addressing that,Only those users who need drycabinet require hands free tokens. and that time has come,” he said. The health system will also look at implementing valet parking and expanding the volunteer-staffed golf cart service that transports patients from the parking lot to the front door.

“The big thing is really going to be the enforcement of employee parking out there. We just haven’t had to deal with that to date,” Unger said.We advertisements of used lasercutter for sale.

A traffic study commissioned by Knauer showed the northwest lot was 90 percent full for more than five hours in a day, including a couple peak hours when it was 95-100 percent full.

In a letter to Unger dated Feb.Capture the look and feel of real stone or indoortracking flooring with Alterna by Armstrong. 22, Knauer, Dr. Jane Servi and Dr. Shelley Oliver voiced their support for the cancer center but asked it be moved elsewhere on the 90-acre property. Calling the center’s proposed location “a huge mistake,” they said the medical office building was barely adequate for current needs.

“Our patients have special needs,” the letter states. “Many are elderly or impaired by illness or injury. We have neurology, cardiology, pulmonary and orthopedic patients among many others who will be struggling to find parking. In addition, the cancer center patients will be struggling to find parking as well.”

Some physicians would like to see the cancer center moved to the east side of the campus where it was originally slated as a freestanding building. Plans changed because of costs and patient access, Unger said.

A freestanding building would have cost several million dollars more than the $11 million addition, money the health system had difficulty raising, he said. The linear accelerators, built within a vault with 3-foot-thick walls, “cannot be moved at this point.”

The health system held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the cancer center last month but has yet to receive approval from the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board or a building permit to begin construction. The project was initially expected to be considered as a minor amendment but will now go to a full public hearing before the planning and zoning board. A hearing date has not been scheduled yet.
