I hadn't heard of this Hospital Link yet. Seems logical as it will significantly decrease the travel time to the hospital. Involves a slight realignment of Riverside Drive and the VIA tracks. New road connecting Riverside Drive and the Hospital Ring Road. With this link does it mean that the planned future connector route from Smyth to Alta Vista or Riverside is off the table?

Calling it the "Hospital Link" is an insult to our intelligence. It's not like the hospital has a pressing need for a 2nd connection to Riverside. We all know it's part of the Alta Vista parkway but the city isn't being upfront about it. The segment between Riverside & Nicholas is in the Lee's & Hurdman TOD renderings.
