What about the fact that you can't get to the new hospital from the ring road without going through residential streets?
Stupid.

The only direction you can't get to the hospital from the ring road is head WB, but from westbound, you can exit 52nd, down to Seton Blvd. it may be slightly slower, but it's shorter in distance, so the difference is minimal.
Better the way it is than to create dangerous accidents unnecessarily by having vehicles try to cut across 3-4 lanes of traffic in a couple hundred metres.
The extra minute it might take to get to the hospital won't likely cost lives, but a dangerous weave zone almost certainly would lead to lost lives at some point.
