Hoylman Lenox Hill CB2 Meeting

Under the cover of darkness, over a holiday weekend, and in usual opaque fashion, Community Board 2 announced with very short notice a meeting for tomorrow that will keep pushing a first aid clinic to replace St. Vincent's Hospital.

In spite of the Lower West Side's united demand that North Shore-LIJ open a hospital to replace St. Vincent's, Community Board 2 keeps its head buried up the ass of the Rudin Family.

JOINT LANDMARKS & PUBLIC AESTHETICS & ST. VINCENT’S OMNIBUS : Tues., 7/5 @ 6:30 PM– NYU Silver Building, 32 Waverly Pl. Room 208 - 30 Seventh Avenue (O’Toole Building) - Application for façade changes and new entrances. For more information go to: http://bit.ly/iNUSWj

St. Vincent's 9/11 Tribute

I Will Wait For You -- St. Vincent's Hospital -- RIP 9-11 Tribute

Jane Jacobs would have saved St. Vincent's Hospital. Too bad Brad Hoylman couldn't.

Brad Hoylman North Shore-LIJ

Manhattan Community Board 2 - St. Vincent's Omnibus Committee will be holding a ''discussion'' about the first aid clinic that North Shore-LIJ wants to install at the O’Toole Building on Seventh Avenue.

Brad Hoylman, chairman of the St. Vincent's Omnibus Committee, will be presiding over a public discussion at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 31, 2011.

The meeting will be taking place at the Auditorium of P.S. 41, located at 116 West 11th Street, New York City.

Ostensibly, the purpose of the meeting is for the St. Vincent's Omnibus Committee to discuss a proposal for a first aid clinic at the O'Toole Building, even though the full Community Board 2 had passed a resolution in 2010 calling for no change in zoning to the main campus of St. Vincent's Hospital.

To begin a discussion about using the O'Toole Building for a first aid clinic would be the first step in a back-door attempt to run through the Rudin Family's hundred million dollar luxury condo-conversion of St. Vincent's Hospital.

Shame on Mr. Hoylman and on Community Board 2 !

Brad Hoylman Open Meetings

Brad Hoylman, CB2 Call Police : Is this a Violation of Open Meetings ? (St. Vincent's)

On June 14, 2010, Brad Hoylman, as chair of Manhattan Community Board 2's Omnibus St. Vincent's Committee, presided over a public meeting to discuss a proposal for a first aid clinic to replace St. Vincent's Hospital. With no hospital now in the Lower West Side of Manhattan, everybody is concerned about healthcare.

After one senior citizen became upset, Community Board 2 called 911 and asked for police to come to the meeting. Was the call for police a way to intimidate senior citizens from asking healthcare questions ? In your comments, please discuss whether the calling of police was a violation of New York's open meetings law.
