Sutter Health’s Proposed Plan Does Not Work for Our Community
It’s too big, it’s too expensive, it’s too damaging to our community.
Sutter Health is proposing a 330-foot, 785,000-square-foot hospital as the centerpiece of a larger medical campus at 5300 Chiron Way. It would funnel an estimated 20,000 vehicle trips a day onto narrow, two-lane streets and bicycle boulevards, including streets where K-12 students are routinely dropped off and picked up. And because Sutter is a nonprofit, it would increase demands on city services without providing ongoing property or business tax revenue to help close Emeryville’s $10 million deficit, projected to reach $14 million by 2030.
