Street Parking and Residential Roads Around Smyth Road
The hospital is at 501 Smyth Road in Riverview, near Riviera. Drivers using surrounding residential streets should treat posted signs, curb markings and any permit controls as decisive, rather than assuming a residential space is available for a hospital visit.
For appointments, use a designated hospital facility or a booked off-street space instead of extending a visit into an uncertain street stay. This is especially important for longer appointments and shifts, when a short permitted period may not cover the time required inside the hospital.
