The parking lot will include three basements, ground floor, and four floors and will have a capacity of 385 cars, bringing the parking spaces to 515 in total.
Traffic measures
In order to alleviate the traffic problem in the already congested road network of the area, a study was carried out after consultation of the Department of Public Works with the project's designers, which provides for the conclusion of an agreement with the Limassol Bus Company serving the hospital, as well as the formation of a bus stop in consultation with the Planning Authority.
In addition, the management of the hospital will prepare a Plan for the Movement of its staff, which will request from a large part of the staff to go to work by bus using incentives/ disincentives. Finally, parking spaces in the multi-storey parking area will be available free of charge to all users for the first two hours of parking. After the first two hours there will be a charge depending on the duration of parking.
