Correction: This post was corrected to provide updated information about the Suburban Hospital enhancement project and the correct location of the demolished homes. Homes that used to surround Suburban Hospital are being demolished and cleared out to make way for the first phase of the medical center's $272 million expansion project. In March, Suburban got permits to move forward with the demolition of the 10 single-family homes it bought and that were vacant on Southwick Street. Crews are clearing trees, shrubs and other brush to make way for the interim parking lot. That lot will provide parking to the existing hospital facilities while workers build a new 1,125-space parking garage on the site of the hospital's existing garage. Once the new garage is built (it's scheduled to be completed in 2017) work will begin on the new four-story, 300,000-square-foot clinical center on the site of the interim parking lot. The work will also mean the closure of Lincoln Street between Old Georgetown Road and Grant Street in the coming months.
