WestEndAveRecap of Third and Final West End Ave. Hearing  

 

Last Tuesday, October 25th, LANDMARK WEST! joined fellow West Siders, elected officials, preservation colleagues, and lovers of landmarks to show our continued support for the proposed historic district extensions anchored by West End Avenue.

Convened by the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), this was the third and final public hearing to consider expanded landmark protection on the West Side.  For this hearing, specifically,
the Riverside - West End Historic District Extension II (click on the image at left for an enlarged map).

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 ...   

THANK YOU!
