LSP
Public Meeting on
Skyline-blocking 9/11
Memorial Design
This
design separates instead of connects us to where the tragedy occurred.
Wednesday
August 16 6:30 pm to dark
Organized
and hosted, with respect and dignity, by The Friends of LSP
Park Users’ Participation is
Urgently Needed
Location
of the Public Meeting:
The chairs will be
in the “North Field” near the CRRNJ Terminal in LSP’s NE corner, next to
the parking lot at end of Zapp Drive, the cobblestone road, and next to the
Memorial Hill which blocks skyline, Ground Zero, & river views.
Rainsite –
Inside the Terminal Concourse.
The
design includes the Hill, that will be 10 ft high and two stainless steel walls,
200 ft long and 30 ft high, next to historic Terminal. All
people who care about LSP are urged to attend this important meeting. Transcripts
of public comments will be sent to Trenton. The Friends had asked and patiently
waited for NJDEP Commissioner Jackson and Governor Corzine to hold a public
meeting, but they haven’t, so we’re holding this approved public meeting so
people can express their opinions and learn about this memorial. Please attend
to speak and/or hear fellow park users.
This controversial 9/11
Memorial “Hill and Walls” design blocks sacred and important NYC
skyline/river views. The design was undemocratically approved with no public
input. It isn’t too late for the Governor to terminate this obstruction of
the “national shrine” of
the NYC/river view, and to revise this design or have a DEP public
meeting on the 8 finalists chosen by the “expert jury”.
