Comments on: Getting Ready to Build the Hospital—a Project as Complex as Building It! http://suttermedicalcentercastrovalley.org/blog/2009/getting-ready-to-build-the-hospital%e2%80%94a-project-as-complex-as-building-it/ Sutter Medical Center Castro Valley Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:10:09 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Orgone Zapper http://suttermedicalcentercastrovalley.org/blog/2009/getting-ready-to-build-the-hospital%e2%80%94a-project-as-complex-as-building-it/comment-page-1/#comment-2268 Orgone Zapper Thu, 25 Feb 2010 05:09:39 +0000 http://suttermedicalcentercastrovalley.org/blog/?p=728#comment-2268 Planning is everything, and just blindly rushing into a project such as this can lead to unmitigated disaster! As a friend in the signage industry is fond of saying - "Measure twice & cut once" It seems like you guys are really on the ball, and I wish you all the very best with both the construction of the new hospital and the process of transformation between old and new. I look forward to seeing this project unfold. Planning is everything, and just blindly rushing into a project such as this can lead to unmitigated disaster!

It seems like you guys are really on the ball, and I wish you all the very best with both the construction of the new hospital and the process of transformation between old and new. I look forward to seeing this project unfold.

My husband is an electrician and we were wondering if a general contractor has been selected yet. Who knows, maybe my husband will get to work on the construction of the new hospital! This blog is so informative and a great resource! Hello, I am an employee at Eden and very excited about the new hospital.

Please note that it is intended to be a controlled access. That is, only ambulances will be able enter from this new entrance. Also, exiting from this new driveway will be restricted which is intended to minimize traffice to Stanton. Site traffic has been designed to move the vast majority of traffic to Lake Chabot Road. An extensive amount of effort was put into the analysis of traffic along Stanton Avenue. If you would like to review the traffice study, it is available at the County Planning Department in Hayward. Their phone number is 510 670-5400 Thanks, Jeff The new ambulance entrance is intended to be located closer to Nordell Aveune than its’ current location.

My young son will be eager to watch the trucks and other equipment at work for sure, but I have a question about future site access. My husband and I have been unable to tell from plan documents whether the Stanton entrance to the new hospital will be different from the existing one (the ER entrance). My fear is that the new entrance will be at the base of my street and will impact traffic patterns. Thanks!

I too enjoy watching construction projects. This one will be very interesting to observe. In regards to the 21012 target date: it is certainly achievable "if" there are no major problems or delays encountered in obtaining the Environmental Impact Report approvals. As you correctly point out, there is a lot of work to be done in a relatively short period of time. However, the design, construction and management teams are "first rate". They are on track to meet this "aggressively realistic" schedule. Thanks again for you comments! Thanks for your comments! I too enjoy watching construction projects.
