The two maps illustrate the changes made to the road access around the City Hospital between 2007 and 2010.
Overall, the area underwent significant redevelopment, with major upgrades to traffic flow, parking arrangements, and public transport facilities. The most notable modifications include the addition of two roundabouts, the construction of a new public car park, and the replacement of roadside bus stops with a dedicated bus station.
In 2007, access to the City Hospital was provided via Hospital Road, which connected the hospital to the City Road to the south. Along Hospital Road, there were several bus stops on both sides, and a single large car park to the east of the hospital served both staff and visitors.
By 2010, the layout had been extensively reorganized. Two roundabouts were constructed – one at the southern junction with City Road and another at the main hospital entrance – to streamline traffic movement. The previous bus stops were removed and replaced with a new bus station situated on the western side of Hospital Road, conveniently linked to both roundabouts. In addition, parking was divided into two separate areas: the original car park became staff-only, while a new public car park was built to the east of Hospital Road, providing easier access for visitors.
In summary, the redesign between 2007 and 2010 significantly improved accessibility and traffic management around the City Hospital, creating a more efficient and organized transport system.
