REPORT from the FIELD ::

LPC Holds its Second Public Hearing
for West End Avenue


 
Yesterday afternoon, LANDMARK WEST! joined with fellow West Siders, elected officials,  preservation colleagues, and lovers of landmarks to show our continued support for the proposed historic district extensions along West End Avenue.

Convened by the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), this was the second of, ultimately, three public hearings to seriously consider historic district extensions to two existing districts anchored by West End Avenue: the Riverside - West End Historic District, and the West End - Collegiate Historic District. 

This spring marked the first public hearing (for the
Riverside - West End Historic District Extension I on March 22, 2011), and yesterday, June 28, the LPC opened the record to discuss the West End - Collegiate Historic District Extension.



 
To all of our friends and neighbors who came to the LPC; who took to the podium to testify; who sat as "silent supporters" of the West End Avenue proposal; who wrote emails and letters in absentia; and who helped spread the word about yesterday's public hearing far and wide ...

 

T H A N K    Y O U !

 

But the journey is far from over!  The public record on the proposed West End - Collegiate Historic District Extension will remain open for thirty days--there's till time to add more emails and letters of support to those recorded yesterday!  Use this quick "how to", and share it with your friends!

With two hearings complete, we must begin
to rally for the third and final of these three West End Avenue public hearing.  On Tuesday, October 25th, the LPC will hold a public hearing for the Riverside - West End Historic District Extension II, encompassing West 89th to 109th Streets, anchored by West End Avenue).  Stay tuned for more information on this public hearing, as well as public information sessions in advance of this event.

 

In the meantime, if you haven't already ...
