This Tuesday, the struggle to restore a hospital for the Lower West Side of Manhattan faces an important test.The Rudin Condo Plan - which would replace our hospital with over 400 luxury condominiums - must come before the City Council's Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises. This is one of the last steps in the "ULURP" land use process before the full city council votes. The committee will hold a public hearing on the Rudin Condo Plan this Tuesday, March 6th at 9:30 AM at 250 Broadway, 16th Floor Committee Room.
The Coalition for a New Village Hospital and I will be asking the Council to oppose the Rudin plan. Billionaire developers draw a lot of water in this town. If the Council is to deny their request, it is essential that they hear and see how united our communities are in opposition to this plan.
Please join me in asking the committee to reject The Rudin Condo Plan and to demand a hospital for the over one million people a day who live, work in and visit the Lower West Side. The need for your voice has seldom been so urgent. Thank you.
