If they did it right, we could see some fairly nice buildings and also if they incorporated mass transportation the right way it would be easy to get there. There needs to be some alternative to getting there besides driving of course ambulances would need to use the roads but for people who work there or who are visiting why not have the option of mass transportation. It would help lessen any congestion and every second counts for emergencies so less cars on the roads getting there, the better.

I actually wouldn't be too worried about it. Any project down that direction is going to have to come with an expansion of all forms of transit down that direction. Lake Austin is eventually going to have to endure some form of streamlining or expansion, whether it happens five years or twenty years down the line.
Also, given that Lake Austin is difficult to reconstruct, Exposition - with its four good connections onto MoPac (35th, Enfield, Windsor, and Westover) - would probably be the primary emergency route into a hospital at that location.
